Thanks, everyone! When I went to the CQ distributor to see all the samples, I decided to go with the red, but had second thoughts after I saw it out of the bag and in the tank, but it's looking better and all the comments make me feel a lot better about it. It is actually a little redder (less orange) than the pictures depict. I wanted something that was different and looked good and it seems like I succeeded. Hopefully, I can find a nice, big piece of driftwood to add this spring.

I love the ColorQuartz. There was something else I wanted to say, but I can't remember...

Bonus points: can anyone tell me what duck and fish are mounted on the wall?

For so many fish it looks so empty. Just wait till some of those guys get bigger! It will look amazing!
