Thanks! Found it in the garden center of Home Depot. It's called Bird Netting or Bird Dfence. (might be harder to find in the winter) Cheap too!

All your little fish look so FAT healthy and colorful! I can't get over how much awesome the tank looks after such a short period of time. Rockwork is nice and it looks like a really interesting tank to park in front of. Nooks and crannies galore.

I think you're palying with fire with those gaps in the netting. I have nothing to base this off but I think fish are more likely to escape near perimeters as they come up the glass. Maybe not but...

Thanks Brett! I tend to overfeed ALOT!

Actually if you are right then I should be covered! The top of the halfcircle has an insert thing that actually edges all along the glass squaring it off (actually makes for limited accessibility in the tank) so if they follow the glass and "up" they would hit the edge. I know I will still have the odd jumper...but it helps.

Super EXCITED about my new additions today!
I have been eyeing up these guys for a couple weeks now and today I just couldn't resist! I LOVE my Skunk Tilefish so much...great personality, active fish! So I got two more TILEFISH! Kev brought in these Blueface Tilefish and they are so amazing! They are huge! Only thing that was holding me back is that they are best purchased in pairs...I didn't really want two...but......I Caved!

Acclimated with my new "Fish Acclimation Dripset" (Thanks Scott!)...worked great by the way...and 10 minutes later these guys are eating like PIGS! Getting abit of a hazing from Dori and Angelina but otherwise fitting in just great. These guys are out swimming the whole time. They are great! Bigger of the two is around 5"!
Fish Acclimation Dripset!


The Pair!



Couple Zoa pics



Tank has been running great. Still having microbubbles issues...drivin me crazy. One of these days I'll drain the sump and remove the pump and take it apart to see if that helps. Diatoms algae bloom has almost disappeared. Something kinda crazy going on with my skimmer...haven't figured it out yet but it keeps freakin out and overfoaming all over the place!
Other than that I have been pretty darn happy with my new upgrade!
