    I did mine recently with eggcrate and they snap off quite easily, ended up using a screwdriver to snap them off then the sharp edges that were left I used a drummel tool with a sander, worked great.

    Sorry for your loss.

    You guys are so great! :)

    Will keep you posted on the dog - we're trying one more course of antibiotics after a wound culture. We go back in a week - he's an incredibly lovable mutt and was my boys' 7th birthday present. I picked him up from the Humane Society as a puppy, and we just adore this dog. He's really special.

    Thanks for making me feel better about the dog and the coral beauty. What a day....

    Sorry about your loss. Coral beauties are one of the most beautiful dwarf angels, and with great personalities, IMO. I found out the hard way that almost any fish can jump. I even lost a Niger trigger to jumping out of a tank.

    Would you consider a glass cover? BTW, egg crate will keep a dwarf angel from jumping, but it doesn't always work for gobies or fairy wrasses. If you have smaller fish that jump, consider using non-metallic window screening attached to the rim or against the sides with Velcro, as another poster suggested.

    ^by that we're talking about the liquid self-medication type?
    Hope you find another CB. We had one over a year ago that only lasted 48 hours.
