Morning All, been lurking for a while now, reading and looking and also drooling quite a bit. Having what I thought turned on its head and putting my thoughts and beliefs to one side and listening to the advice given to others. When I started this dream it was to have a heavily planted Discus tank full of smallish Discus, that were happily swimming around in Re-mineralised RO water with a ph around 6 hahaha. Imagine my utter surprise when I realised that wasn't the prescribed way ( and after I bought a 2nd hand RO unit and modified and replaced filters etc until it cost me more than a brand spanking new one ! ! )
Well, on to what I do have - the tank is not wet yet. It's a 39"x30"x26" with an external weir box going to a sump underneath. I'll have Sera rings in the main chamber and some floss before to catch some of the major gunk.
I now intend keeping the scaping simple, probably 10mm of sand with some Manzanita branch's and driftwood.
I plan on keeping Stendker Discus, around 10 of varying strains and some Torpedo barbs and Corys.
The discus I've decided on are between 4-6 inch fish as I'm hoping these will be more stable at this size.
*and when I work out how to add photos, I'll show you guys and girls the tank*
Cheers
Neil
