What are you planning on doing with the 80 gallon?

The 80 gallon, its lights and stand are for sale. See the Classified section here..

Thanks for the compliments!

Thanks all for the compliments! I really appeciate that!!

I'm so glad the 'move' went so well -- nothing broken, no leaks, very little stress on the fish... The Discus like the extra room - they "told me"... LOL
The lights are nice too, with the 6 built-in MoonLites -- I highly recommend them!

That IS beautiful. ...How much did a tank like that cost you (Just for the tank portion)?

Thanks!
Just the tank -- $215

That's a beautiful looking tank. I look forward to update photos to see how it matures.

With that said, I'm almost surprised you haven't been hammered for "over crowding" or questioned on your choice of discus since most strains have been bred by evil fish breeders to produce completely unnatural coloration.

It's amazing, on both... LOL

But, I was told about the coloration subject on my Discus....
If fish are bred with the plan of better coloration, I'm all for it! I am not into "injections" and such for instant colorings. Some may like the bars and neutal colors of 'wild caught' Discus. I prefer the solid colorations of my Discus.

After seeing how Discus grow rather quickly, I now think the "rule" of 1 Discus per gallon is too small a space. The 8 I had in the old 80 gallon was pushing it. This 125 is so much better..
