Crappy deal, I was lucky that mine only made it to the sump before I fixed that problem.

Thanks Guys and Leah! Good news is that we still have another one at RC. I was gonna bag him up today but we were really busy at the end of the day and I just didn't have time to catch him before we closed. I hope to sneak over tomorrow to get him but it's my son's birthday party...priorities I suppose.

Little update...and snapped a few pics.

So after the Skunk TileFish carpet surfed...I went and got another one! So I decided to build a cover for the majority of the top to decrease the chances of losing another. I procrastinated a few days...and wouldn't you know I found my NEW Skunk in the overflow! So...I built myself a mesh cover. With the curve it is a little awkward so I opted to leave a small curve open in front - kinda handy for feeding anyway. (And yes I know...the fish will likely find that small spot if they are going to jump...but I figure my chances have to be better with most of it covered.) So there's little me...cutting metal screen door side pieces with a hacksaw all by myself at 10:00 at night...but I got the job done! I may procrastinate...but when it comes to doing the job...I am determined! Had some sore hands and arms the next day.
Here's a pic of the finished cover on the tank.


And the new Skunk TileFish



I also have decided to give some SPS a go...I have alot of space up top to fill and I just don't know what else I can put up there other than SPS...so SPS it is. We'll try a few easier pieces and see how it goes. Picked up a couple of Frags from Scott (Thanks Argentiner). Tried to get pics but they are darn near impossible through the curved glass...gotta get an underwater camera or somethin...



Also had a friend (Thanks AGAIN) bring back a fish from Ponoka!~ cute little guy with a tonne of personality. WhipFin Fairy Wrasse. And he and the Skunk hang out together...kinda cute!





Got a beautiful new blasto which is doing fantastic! Thanks Riptide!


couple more pics to follow...
