I did find a replacement colony for the one that RTNed on the weeked, however I did not buy it. I'm debating picking it up next weekend though.
However, I found one of my dream fish, a magnificient foxface, at Red Coral and was thrilled to be able to bring it home on Saturday. It was at home in the tank within about an hour, and there was zero aggression from the other inhabitants. I saw it eat nori on Sunday, and I'm finding it to be less of a scardy-cat then most other rabbitfish I've ever kept, or seen. I have a bunch of photos to share, but I can't seem to get photobucket to accept the uploads. I'll be trying again tonight when I get home. Kevin completed his skimmate collector yesterday, he is just waiting on the weld-on to cure for 24 hours and it should be ready for a long-term water test. I sort of understand how it works, but I'm a visual learner, so seeing it in action will make everything click. We also found an unused hardware store gift card that we made short work of. We re-purchased, and have begun to build a new mesh top for the tank. This time around we found a stronger mesh, which I'm hoping will prevent any jump-throughs. The trade off though is that the mesh holes are larger then before, however none of our current fish have a hope of fitting through them so it seems like it might work out.

Any details on the mesh? Where did you find it? I need to do something similar. I have a serious need to lose my eggcrate lids.

I'll do you one better and give you pictures when I get home in a few hours.
It came from Home Depot, and I probably have enough left over that you can just have it. Its like flimsy plastic chikenwire I guess.

New thread for the build on the big tank, just to separate it out a bit more, so voila, the Last Big Upgrade.

I'm so pleased with this fish. I STILL can't believe my luck in finding one after so many years of searching. It was definitely meant to be.
I have some entertaining photos of Matia, our smaller dog, trying to figure out what was in the acclimation bucket.
