No longer in Virginia

[DonMD]

Don in Virginia is now living in Baltimore. Finally got my 150g tank set up, and it's cycling. Will pick up some plecos from Brewmaster, and some discus from DiscusHans once my tank is finished cycling, probably the second week of November.

Cheers! -Don in MD.

Hope the move was easy for you.

Nice tank and scape. What type of wood is that as the main piece.

Nice Don and congrats on the move. Do you wish to change your username and location? If so shoot me or Al a pm. Looking forward to seeing fish in that 150. :)

Nice display! Will look great once the fish go in.

The tank looks great but I was really drawn to the picture beside it. What can you tell me about it?

Don,
Welcome back to the hobby my friend.Its going to be great seeing you with Fish again. :)

Looking forward to catching up with you when you pick up those bristlenose plecos.

Trust your move to Baltimore was trouble-free, Don, and that you & family enjoy your time in Maryland.

Good to have you back active on the forum - looking forward to seeing your completed 150 !

Hope the move was easy for you.

I wish! LOL.

Nice tank and scape. What type of wood is that as the main piece.

That piece of wood is ironwood, at least that's what they sold it as, about 10 years ago. It's heavier than water.

thanks, Pat, will send you a pm.

Thanks, I am definitely looking forward to having fish again.

The picture on the right is from Bluefields, a city on the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua, founded by English speaking blacks, even though Nicaragua is of course a Spanish speaking country. The pic on the left is a piece of cloth from either Togo or Sierra Leon, I forget which. Or maybe from Zimbabwe, I once visited those countries, years ago.

Thanks, Paul. My setup will be much smaller than it was in Virginia. Just starting out again with the one tank, and if I get a pair that wants to breed, I may set up one breeding tank, and probably one grow-out, but that will be it. -Don

I like how you darkened the room and spotlighted the tank. Must be a big hit with the family! :D

It's going to be great to have your own discus importer in town, Willie

[Keith Perkins]

You sound so much more intelligent with your new user name Don, well done. :) Great looking tank, I hope it cycles for you well. Looking forward to seeing it with discus in it.

[DonMD]

Finally put some fish in it!

Would love to see the video, Don, but can't access it - all I'm getting is a request to sign in for my google account.
What am I doing wrong here ?

[DonMD]

Don, is that a Persian rug?

Cliff

Yes, it is. My father bought it in the 70's in Isfahan.

It looks beautiful Don

Hope you and your family have settled in to the new Baltimore surrounding Don. Your tank and Discus look spectacular and what really caught my interest is the great 3D background.
Glad to see you active here on the forum.

Cheers...Ralph
