Can I borrow your towel
So let me ask a question if I might...
I've had a lot of trouble getting good macro shots using my wife's DSLR, mostly because she doesn't have a $800+ macro lens. Would I perhaps be well served to just pick up a half decent P&S and use the digital zoom for macro's? Some of the shots here are really nice. My ONLY concern is that I've been shooting in raw on the DSLR and that lets me fix white balance issues in Photoshop really easily, I presume I would loose that ability with a P&S camera?

Not at all, these days, you'll find P&S that have RAW capability. I have a P&S Canon G9 which I love, and it has RAW capability.

Took these with my G10
I have not had it long enough to read the manual but so far so good.

I'll play but I don't have a FTS with my P&S, plus I don't have this tank anymore.

I think the next big challenge for me is going to be to shoot pictures of the fish. I always get very jealous whenever I see someone's fish pose for the camera 
Seriously, though, is it all just patience? Or do the fish just get used to the big eye just outside the tank?
These are the two best shots of the tangs I could get in about 5 minutes of sitting there. You can tell the tank is up and running with all the specks in the water column that entails!

nice shots, especially the blue zoes. you can try playing around with different mode on the camera to get moving fishes.

But I am still working on the settings for getting a good FTS. In the meantime... Sony DSC W290 with underwater housing:
