thanks a lot. these were shot under my 14k phoenix only, I don't have actinics on this tank right now. My camera makes it seem more blue then it really is. Hopefully I'll get a new one soon. In person it has a nice crisp blue hue to it, but not too blue IMO. I really like the phoenix 14k bulb.

I like the ric collection. And the tank looks sweet too. What kind of fish is in there with the clown? Its hard to tell from the picture.

Thanks a lot. I started with about 8 or so after first catching the ricordea bug. It took me about a year or so to get my collection to where it is today. At it's peak I had 33 rics and it was just too much to handle and didn't look right in my small tank. I've thinned them out some and now I have 24 or so. I also have moved some up on the bottom rocks off of the sand bed for a cleaner look. I'm still not sure if I want to thin them out anymore, but for now I'm enjoying them.

Thanks. I think you're referring to my larger(I think ORA) duncan colony. They get huge and are so neon green, maybe the greenest in my tank!! I've had it for about 7 months or so.

Well if you ever decide to thin them out again you can send some to me. I have a 6' long tank and ONE ric.
So I have plenty of room.

lol, I'll keep that in mind
At some point I may frag them all up and offer ric packs for sale, but that wouldn't be for awhile.

Haha, I sure do. Pictures make it seem more crowded then it really is. In person everything flows together very nicely.
Thanks again for the kind words everyone!
