My Christmas / b-day present to myself!!!

SOOO excited, I just acclimated and added 30 ricordea to my tank! SO nice to have them again after loosing almost all of them in the move. probally shouldnt have added them all at once lol but runing carbon and poly to help keek the gunk down. They are plumping up as we speak and I got a few that look to expand about 3 inches! NICE ones all in all and Merry Christmas and Happy B-day to me!

I take some pics and will load them tonight when they are all opened up!

On another note, after the move most of you knew how bad the tank was doing and I am glad to say that its actually IMO looking better than it was before, colors are AMAZING and my Purple Deaths AND my Nuclear greens both sprouted not 1 but 2 new polyps! Funny how things can go so bad and end up so good! Just thought I would share in the great news. Proof positive that no matter how bad the tank goes downhill there is always hope. YUCK when did I turn into an optimist? lol

What a nice xmas and b-day present! Mine (Nicole) is on the 5th! Sadly don't think it'll be anything fish related.

LMAO OK OK OK here are the pics. True I got a new computer and been playing with that lol. Better late than never. Do the colors look supersaturated on your monitors guys? This new monitor is HD and I think it makes all the colors look REALLY saturated. The rics are bright for sure thou!

The rics are still opening up more every day. Once they get settled in I will be gluing them all to a couple rocks. Should look fantastic. Glad to have them back.

Looking good! Love the big blue one with the orange one next to it. It's going to look amazing once they completely get opened and settled in!
