It was around $22 with tax for 50 lbs. I'm leaning towards keep the JD and getting rid of the FM and Con. The JD never hides and is the best looking of the 3.

damn, 22 a bag is pretty decent....pm me if you want to sell the FM, I might be interested I wanted to get one earlier on in my infatuation with the hobby; and instead ended up with too many jacks.

yeah it is...I paid about $40 for a 50 lb bag of Colorquartz to be shipped to me. If I had just looked around some more like dontgetbit did then i could've just driven 15 minutes to this place and gotten one for $22 :wall:

I think I'm going to go get some too to have for future tanks

yeah I bought eco complete black sand recently at I think 22.99 for a 15lb bag...I bought of em...so yeah
 
New driftwood...It was only $12 at a lfs.

I like the piece but I am not sure about the placement in the tank. I am still trying out different arrangements for the rocks and plants as well.
Any suggestions on what to leave and what to remove?

Posted before and after to help.
 
Nice tank and welcome to the addiction.
 
Thanks. It is certainly an addiction. Its funny how I used to give my friend so much crap about his "fish problem". I'm just getting started but now I get the same crap from others.
 
Thanks. As for the larger tank, yes I am definately thinking about going larger. I think the next step is 125 gal minimum.

I think I will keep it like this for now. The JD and Pleco each have their caves, but its nice an open. Now to just figure out the airstones...
