Brentling's 125 Startup Thread - Lots o' Pics

Looks cool, but you need to back the wood away from the front glass a bit.. It's so close, you won't be able to clean the glass.

I adjusted it all so there is space between the wood and the glass. Thanks.

Awesome! I am really intrigued by the cork bark idea and am eager to see how it holds up once waterlogged. You're now beholden to post regular updates

I will update for sure. The hard part was making up he original post. I was up until 2 AM uploading pics and stuff! I have read of someone who had the cork underwater for 5 years without problems. We shall see...

I like the cork bark idea, I think I'll use it on my next tank! Im definetely following this thread to the end. Good job brentling!

How about a full tank shot?

I agree David, the cork idea really is intriguing.... not right for everty tank but perfect for an Amazonian biotope.

....must.... resist.... urge to set-up another..... tank!

Once the proper lights are in place, I can take full shots. Right now the flash makes a full shot look pretty bad.

If they get behind the cork bark, they will have raised the top, climbed out of the tank and rappelled back there! I think it will be OK. Thanks!

It's a scientific fact that Discus love to go rappelling, so giv them plenty rope to make them happy.

Look forward to the next pics.

Discus are big cycling enthusiasts too.

Btw, are you buying juvenile or semi-adult discus, cause the first thing that comes to mind is, how easy is it gonna be for waterchanges every other day in a 125gal? If you go with juveniles.
