Since 12-26-09 in joining SD, this is the end product over the yrs. of reading and following info from the forums. My 125G tank with 14 discus raised from 2.5- 3.0" juvies to now adult discus, 4.5-6.0". All stock came from Kenny's and Han's. Also last Nov'13 replaced FX5 filter for DIY 1" dual pvc overflow pipes, 20G long sump. The sump contains K1 moving bed filter (two gallons from Chicago Discus), Swiss Tropical Poret foam for baffle, and 2L Seachem Matrix bio media, and Mag 5 water pump for the return. Just want to say that SD has made my discus hobby experience very enjoyable. Really nice to watch feeding the gang and doing 50-70% WC's every three days.

Nice photos. Wonderful discuses

If you don't mind me asking. Where did you buy those white plastic mesh that your using as a divider and a platform to hold your filter media in your sump?

That's in advance.

I really enjoyed your photos, fish, and tank setup. Fun to always change things up and see what works best for our setups.
