Eep! That's not nice to come home from the bar to!! Hopefully you weren't enebriated enough to lack vertical motor skills.

I would say add a couple pieces of live rock to your coral tank if some of them stayed wet through the ordeal because you really need a source of bacteria in there. Surprise surprise corals are livestock! They eliminate waste just like fish do (well not quite like fish, but you get the point) so they will cause a cycle all on their own, so it's important for you to get some bacteria in there. I wouldn't put too much weight into the bottled products. Try it if you want, but I wouldn't rely on that as your only source. If all else fails, maybe you can borrow some cured rock from a friend's tank, or buy some from an LFS. You would only need say 1 lb for every 5 gallons of water you have just to get you by.

thanks for all the input guys, my buddy is coming over with some live rock and water from his system for me, hopefully it won't cause too much of a cycle. oh well i guess time to start all new again.
