I live in Richmond, myself. I always go to fish world, I've been to a couple other places but they never seem to be as helpful as Joe is. I got my tank off craiglist, but as for everything else I got it at Fish World. He's a little more expensive than some places, but he gurantees all his products, and if you ever have anything wrong with anything just bring it in to him and he'll replace it for you, no charge. He's really good about that. Plus his livestock is always healthy, and I trust him and his livestock. If you all ever want to get rid of anything let me know. I want to upgrade once I graduate from college, to a bigger tank. Right now I have a 75.
BTW your tank looks great, I like how its unique and not the same old tank as most, just looks like a pain to do stuff in your tank.

I like joe too and they have a great selection! I had been doing business with Scott and Shannon at Richmond for almost a year before I met Joe so I kinda already had a relationship with them but he has been great too! Do you have anything that you want to trade? I have a black and silver cardinal I just bought this week and I can't EVEN see him in my tank! He has decided to hang out on the sides and I can only see through the front!

My Mandarin is a little ruffed up from the damsel but she is eating great! I bought 1000 copepeds and added them to my tank just in case I will add pictures when my water clears up a little (from moving the rock)I just wanted to let you guys know that it is going great!

Beautiful tank fishpoor! I do enjoy the fact that it is "odd", not the generic looking aquarium you're used to. Contrats on a successful tank and catching those damsels, it took me a few weeks to get mine out too! Little

WOW That tank is awesome.. Sorry to hear about your bully. But I have heard that cleaner wrasses dont survive long anyway. I dont know how much truth there is to this statment but from what I have heard they only eat parasites, and eventually starve in the home aquarium. ... WOW that tank is really cool. Good Luck with it.

LOL !!!! I'm betting that as well. Even though we saw what the top looks like, eventually you'll fall in ....
Get a Lil Giant ladder. I hear they're great to have around the house for all sorts of jobs - even odd placements to work in.

I have been so busy with life I have not had much time for my tank! Here are pictures...I know it is dirty, my magnet finally died and I guess I will have to break down and buy a good one! Any suggestions? Remember its acrylic! I also had Joe make me a light set up, I plan to do a few softies. I still have to paint the canopy.
