moved the tank, changed around the rocks pics to come tomorrow (which is my 3rd snow day in a row lol)
Well I guess I should update with pics, a little late, sorry lol.
I'm planning on adding more rocks soon and possibly get some more Acei.

Looks awesome, Wayne 
What kind of sand is that?
I found a clay pot at TJ Maxx - unglazed, made in Vietnam and the clay was gray. So basically it was just like a terracotta pot but with grayish clay instead of reddish. I've also seen articles that suggest gluing (with silicone) gravel or river rocks to the pots and perhaps adding a bit of silk plant to it or something to make it blend in more: http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/diy_cichlid_cave.php
I know how cichlids love their flowerpots, but it can be a bit more aesthetically pleasing to try and blend it in more. Other than that your tank is :cool-1:

And I agree, Aceis are lovely fish, temperament and appearance wise. A relief not to see Auratus in there...those thugs 
Lol. Thanks everyone. I don't currently have any silicone but maybe this summer I could silicone some slate pebbles from a local creek. I still need to get some more rocks but I'm on spring break so maybe tomorrow or later this week.
Yeah they are. Other than anubias or Java ferns they would tear almost any plant up at least from what I've heard. I haven't tried it tho.
