Bree's Discus Tank Build Thread

[Bree7]

they're going into a 75 until they grow to about 5", then they will be moved to a 200 show tank. as soon as i saw the APDs i had to have a few . altums were high up on my list as well.

on top of this order, i have 10 2" fry coming from another sponser on simply, 20 discus in one day :jaw-dropping:

Thank you! And yes, Kenny is a great one to buy from.

Anyone have any suggestions for the plants in the stemless cosmo glasses?

Subscribing to see how this grows. Nicely done so far.

Quick Update...

Quick update...
Here is a current tank shot! I've added an overturned clay pot and a few plants in the stemless cosmo glass Trying to find two more... they seem to have disappeared from my kitchen cabinet...? Weird. So only one glass for now.

Fish will arrive next Saturday morning! Almost time to move out the current fish and move in the new guys Sponge filters will be here on Friday.

Keep checking in! Adding more to the tank soon.

Well thank you It is still a work in progress.. but I try to keep it clean looking!

Oh, I forgot to add.. The bottom of the tank has been painted white. Trying for zero peppering on these fish!

Update:
The sponge filters arrived early!
They are now set up in the tank with airstones. I'm a little unsure about my air pump as I bought it used... the model is a Second Nature Whisper 300, is that sufficient for the tank? I really don't know much about it. Does the pump size affect the filter flow or does it not really matter? It is set up with a splitter so the air goes from one pump to both filters. I'll attach a pic of the pump, as well.

Anyways, here is a current tank shot!

{Countdown... 3 more days until discus!}
I'll try to post a video when I receive the package.


(Ignore the mess on the bottom! The cories and kuhlies thought it would be great to play with the sand in the planted glass. Needless to say, they tried to get as much sand out of the glass as possible.)
