Thanks Demartini!!! I got the rock with all the green Rics (14 total) for $40 at an LFS nearby. I have 3 Orange Rics that I got for $50 total. Finally I have 2 Blue Rics that were $10 each. The orange and blues came from the main LFS I use by my house. I can't get enough of them!!!

Very nice. Your tank is what I'd love to get to eventually. I have a long way to go, but it's nice to see what you are able to do.

Very nice pics. I love your tank. Seeing the cleaner shrimp makes me miss mine even more. It jumped out of the tank a few weeks ago and was found by my dogs. It was the first live purchase in my tank.
You also did extremely well in photographing your tank. I'm having issues with getting the light and shutter speed correct.

Thanks everyone.
Wangotango- I hear ya on the price. $65 for 2.5 inches in diameter is really steep. Mine is about 4 inches and I paid $40.
bcott- The appearance of clean sand must be trick photography. It's actually a mess.

I'm new here so sorry for not knowing this, but how many gallons is the Seaclear System II? Why did you choose Acrylic over glass? (Doing research before I buy my tank, thanks!)

Welcome Aboard!! My systemII is a 50 gallon. I love the look of the Acrylic without the seams and rounded corners. Acrylic scratches easy so you have to be careful. I personally wouldn't buy a System II by Seaclear again. The filtration system is all built into the back of the tank. It works great but it takes up about 4 inches of the width of the tank.

I guess I could talk to him since he is my roomate!! LOL!! We have one store that carries the Orange rics/$25 each and Green/$12. Then there is another store about 20 minutes from me where I got my huge rock of Green Rics for $40. We went there earlier last week and they have another one for $40. I counted 11 total on it. I saw and thought about ya cause I remember your previous post when you said it would cost about $300. They also have a tank loaded with different Yumas for $40 each. I have a hard time justifying that much for a mushroom though.

Thanks Nate. I enjoy stalkin my Local Fish Stores throughout the week so see what I want. Then I come home and stare at my tank to figure out what to get and where to place it. I have made the mistake already of buying something without planning out where I want it and it doesnt work out too well. Thanks Again!!!!
