Hi,

We are fine. Finally got our new tank set up. Now I am fighting the algae wars. I went through this the last time I set up a tank. I will prevail. It is just a matter of finding the correct ratios of CO2, elements, and light. I placed the tank in a very bright room next to my desk. There is a lot of sun, which is complicating the algae control.

We purhased 12 baby Dwarf albino bristlenose plecos from Ironman at AquaBid to help with the algae. I set up a quarantine tank for the first time in my life. Only because as the bag hung in the tank to adjust the temperature, the angel fish that lives with the discus was considering the baby plecos as breakfast.

Where is your picture, Chuck? And where is Ardan's photo. Did I miss them?
And what about April. Why is she so shy? We need pictures!

Stay well,

John R

Hello again,

It just occurred to me, that if anybody is interested there are photos of our new tank as we set it up at the following URL.

http://www.medcomres.com/OurHOTrains/john_tank1.htm

Click through the pages for photos and a narrative by my wife. If you look carefully you will see the baby discus we got from Brewmaster. That was about 3 months ago. Now you can hardly tell them from the older fish.

Hi all,
Hey Chris-C, the Taj looks absolutely beautiful. I did a large drawing of it in 5th grade and have never forgotten what it looks like. I would love to visit it one day! Hmmmmm, I wonder what I did with that drawing........I think it's hanging in the Smithsonian now ::)

My pic is in the avatar, courtesy of the computer wizards Ryan and Chong! I am a LCSW, or Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and work in private practice with a psychiatrist and another therapist. I try to help all of the troubled administrators/moderators, but to no avail-they are too far gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL, My main discus tank is a 180 gallon with 9 fish in it presently, BB with a wet/dry filter system. I am looking forward to the day I can live in a house again,as I am living in an apartment and cannot fit anymore tanks per the boss/wife.
Welcome to all!

Hi guys, My name is Kerry. I live in Surfers Paradise, Australia and I enjoy Fish, Horses & Drinking (now & again)! I run my own business from home doing grahic art. I have seven fish tanks. I have discus, bolivian rams, clown loaches, swords, guppies, bristlenose catfish, corys, lyre tailed mollies, goldfish (in an outdoor tank) and siamese fighters. My newest tank is a 50 gallon which houses 1 red devil and im having heaps of fun with him! The first pic is me in my favourite pose (having a sip of wine) and the second is of me and my favourite racehorse Yippyio - a champion racehorse in Australia. The photo isnt real good as i took it from a huge pic of me and him that my boyfriend had blown up for me and is hanging on the wall.
Anyway nice meeting you all

Why thanks April! It was so embarrassing - we had the party at a friends hotel in the function room and to get to the bathrooms you had to walk through another bar. There was this family in the bar on my way to the loo and had 2 kids, about 2 and 4 years old. When they saw me they started calling out "Mummy,mummy look at the horsie". naturally everyone in the bar turned and looked. A few guys in the bar were into horse racing and knew "Yippyio" and they came up and asked me when i was going to win my next race. Rather embarassing, but after a few drinks i thought i was a show jumper and had a couple of falls!

Hi everyone this is Diane my wife and myself. One of these days going to have to take a normal pic teeeheeee!! :)

04-30-2003, 01:51 PM
well i thought i would get on here and say hi to everyone and tell you a little about me. My name is mike heppner (21 years old) and i am from Hep's Discus Center based in portland oregon were it doesnt stop raining and were we have the worst basketball team (jail Blazers) i have over 100 tanks mostly 75's and 20's for breeders. i mostly import all of my discus from world top breeders and i do have breeding pairs that do prduce fry for me. i have been keeping discus for more than 6 years now and it seems funny how everyone starts with one tank and ends up with so many.

I'll have a picture because I use windows xp which keeps exploding, then I have to reformat and reinstall it... But I’m too lazy to backup my files.

Actually, I will post a new pic soon for the Aussies because I should be taking my wife to visit her cousin in Queensland.
… The plan is to contact Ari&Scott and Rod when we get there, then insert a 20L bag full of water down my trousers, go over and tell them sullenly that it’s a colostomy bag, the “tragic by-product of a naked romp through a field of hungry sheep during the NSW drought.” - wait a moment for their eyes to glaze over, and steal all their breeders.

Mmmm…The perfect crime.

(I hope they don’t read this).

April
05-02-2003, 08:30 AM
LOL Bass. hmmmm.....think i better warn them...after all those breeders are making me fry to send to Canada!!
i hope you do get to meet them. and make sure you bring the camera. : ))

Rod
05-03-2003, 05:13 AM

Smokey
05-10-2003, 06:23 AM
Geeesh, the baby is not even born and ari is already complaing. Just think how moma discus feels with 100 fry to look after. AND you will only have two to look after; the new pretty little one and the big one[scott]. lol.

Any ways i would like to appoligize for not posting my mug. To much peat to take a good pic!!!

Smokey

Smokey
05-10-2003, 06:29 AM
BTW Chris ... keep your hands off of my discus fry. Its hard enough, with ari and pascale scooping all of rod's fry, to get some over here to Canada, without someone else walking around with a net and [hey .. great idea, actually ... but never mind] a colostmy bag atow. hahahahahaha

Smokey

April
05-10-2003, 09:38 PM

05-11-2003, 03:17 AM

Hi all - A little about myself.

No I'm not a Flyers fan. Go Pens! :D

I live in Pittsburgh, PA. Our tap water is roughly 7.2 ph, medium soft.

Been doing this for about 1 1/2 years now. I have 2 29 gallon tanks (in pic), a 55 and 2 20's. I only have about a dozen mostly young fish. Looking to increase that though. I use a 50/50 RO-Tap mix. PH is about 6.5.

I store it in a 100 gallon tank. I try to do 50% changes every day. Mostly feeding beefheart and bloodworms. I have 2 trickle filters. One is for the 2 29's and the other is for the 55, and 2 20s. The 55 gallon also has 2 sponge filters.

If anyone sees anything wrong with the way I'm doing things, let me know I'm here to learn!

Hey You Guys..... :blushing: You are really too sweet :blushing:

Thank You for all those Nice Compliments

Hey Mench .....
who said I don't like hot rods ??? although I am a truck fan ;) I like the old 69 version of the Camaro's along with the Mustang fast backs ;)

Yes Randy.....

I "Do" have a gun and I "Do" know how to use it ;D I think last years hunt pics maybe just a little too graphic for some of the people here that may be a little squemish :o

Tony.......

Are You ok? Your mouth looks a little bent outta shape..... You haven't been doing this :banghead: again have ya? ;D

Gary......
No Way.... leave the spotlights for the "real" Discus people ;)

Kim......
Thanks .... And I'm not quite 40 yet.... I actaually just made 37 and it's getting too close to 40 for me :(

Shorthair....

I didn't think I could really like hunting until that first kill....... Man I love it..... nothing like getting that blood pumping ;)

Again Thanks Guys

Beth :blushing:

ronrca
06-06-2003, 03:06 PM
nothing like getting that blood pumpingHmmm! Yes, of course hunting would do have that effect! ;D

You have to come north though to do some REAL hunting! I mean you have to watch which hill or mountain you climb! It may turn out to be a bear instead! And let me tell you, if you ever hit a deer, you just better hope your driving a semi or a austin mini. With the semi, you may have a chance and with a austin mini, you just drive between the legs! :cowboy:

Fisheyes
06-06-2003, 04:18 PM
Hey Ronrca

A austin mini wow they must be big deer

You think are discus are big up north? Nah, not really! Its too cold here. I guess they like in closer to 0C! ;D

06-06-2003, 05:30 PM
Hey Ron....

If they have deer as BIG as you say they do along with the bears ...... I don't think I want hunt up there :o

You'd laugh at the little Doe I shot..... but then again if you seen where the shot hit you'd think "Man I better not piss her off" she's got a mighty good aim..... when I hit her, she dropped on the spot ;D

ronrca
06-06-2003, 05:38 PM

And Kim..your just a baby....no dating for you. you would have to be 19 to get on simplydating.com.
and their right Beth..our deer are far bigger. and our mountains will get your heart pumping by the time you shoot one from one mountain to the one across the valley and then run down one mountain and back up the other to retrieve it. then drag it back down to the car. not that those drooling guys in calgary and beyond have seen mountains...guess tony has seen the rockies though so hes exempt. the rest..are stuck in the prairies. B.C, is where the deer and elk are.

Hi Nicco :wave:

ROFLOL! Gary, gary! But course the lava! ;)

I guess its my turn! Hmmmmm! Wait a minute........I still have not seen a good pic of Karina like one that I posted. While the pics are nice (I would love to go diving), they still dont show a good clear pic of her face.

Come on Karina! Its your turn again! 8)
Btw, what are you doing in that pic?

Ok, ok! I'll post another just because Im a good guy (just my opinion 8) ) But beware! I didnt shave in this one or get all fancy! My discus love despite my looks! (Its a bad pic but the only one I have left at the moment. Thats ok, I'll scare everyone away then)!

Smashley,
Your a good kid, Ashley! If your helping mom doing water changes, good for you plus saving the house, all the better! Mom cant wish for a better kid! And a honor student, good for you! ;) Keep it up and dont let Mom's fish interfere with studying. ;D

Ron,
are you in heat or something? Shouldn't you be asking to see pics of her fish? :)

I found a site or two that may interst you more than Simply, www.great-expectations.com and www.americansingles.com (this may or may not work because of your Canadian status). I'm sure there are lots of pictures of beautiful women on these sites.

I'm just poking a little in fun, sorry. Don't take it to heart.

Seriously... go get her tiger ROOOAAAARRRRRRR :D

ronrca

I agree Randal! Ryan should share his sky diving experience. It was pretty bad!

LOL! Karina! I love your humor! The hard drive crashed rememer! ;D

06-17-2003, 05:50 PM

Congrats Karina! What a beautiful wedding picture! Wow! On the beach with the ocean in the background! Very nice! Where was the wedding if I may ask? Locally or in some exotic vacation place? A year already so anniversary is close?

Btw, you both make a good looking couple to be really honest!
(Im 100% heterosexual which means I love my wife 150% so dont even think of it >:( :whip: ! Just wanting to make the clear 8) )
Btw, whats your husbands name?

ronrca
06-18-2003, 02:26 PM
Well, you see ODwyerPW! This is Faces to names - part 2! The reason behind this is because there is a limit to the number of posts per thread. Part 1 was getting full so it was archeived. Part 2 will also be archeived soon Id imagine so Brewster will start a Part 3!

HTH!
Nice pics btw! How was dinner? ;)

06-19-2003, 09:59 AM
Wow! A wedding in Hawaii! Very, very nice! Happy Anniversary Rafal and Karina! ;) Does Rafal like fish?

Well, I manage to get one of my wedding pics. Can you believe that its already 5 years next month! WOW! Time flies! It sure does not seem like it at all!

I was hoping to get some pics from Cancun from the digi cam does take good pics of pics. I'll have find a scanner I guess! (I should of used more lighting! Sorry!)

KARINA

No, that is a picture of my wife at a Water Garden on the Coromandel Peninsula on New Zealand's North Island. I can't remember the name of it at the moment. Yes, it was paradise!! One does begin to miss wild mammals, reptiles and amphibians though. Nothing but birds and livestock.

I live just outside of Albany, New York. Definitely not a paradise, but I do my best to keep my property up. I have the good fortune that my back yard is basically a wooded ravine that you can follow down to the Hudson River (about a mile). Directly accross the street from my house is another wooded ravine..flooded with a stagnant swamp. Not the prettiest, but I've been introducing native Green Newts, Red Lined Salamanders, Leopard Frogs, Bull Frogs, Wood Frogs & Common Toads to add a bit of life. I've planted jack in the pulpits and naturalized it with daffodils, lilly's and daisies. All of the neighbors hate the swamp because of the mosquitos (and fear over West Nile). But I like it. Families of Ducks and Geese have made their home there. Last winter I caught 18 deer walking through the ravine across the street (I live in the city!!) I have a family of racoons and a ground hog living underneath my compost pile in the ravine in my backyard. I've planted my ravine hillside with English Ivy, Creeping Myrtle and Pacasandra (no mowing involved...just pulling up hundreds of Norwegian Maple saplings a few times a year).

I just had my property re-appraised two weeks ago. We will see if any of my hard work has paid off. Starting phase III of my home remodel any day now. This will effect the outside, so the house will finally look nice from the outside (though I did replace all of the windows in the fall, so that's helped it's appearance).

I found that allot of New Zealand looked like New England. Very beautiful (and wet).

ronrca
06-19-2003, 11:05 AM
What a good idea Karina! I didnt even think of doing that! Thanks! Let me try again! Is that better?

Rafal eats fish? :o :puke:
LOL! Well, I like eating fish too but depends what kind. Not discus, thats for sure! ;)

ODwyerPW
Sounds like lots of fun! and lots of work! You make it sound very nice also with the wooded ravines and swamp! ANy pics perhaps? ;D

O yea! About my wedding! We have it hanging in our bedroom! This picture is huge! Its almost life size actually. Im not kidding! Its like 4.5' x 3.5'. ;)

KARINA
06-19-2003, 11:46 AM
hm, very nice ronrca!!! how did you resize the pic to such a big size? i couldn't do that with mine .... i do have a huge frame in my living room that rafal did it and we wanted to put our pic in it don't know how to do it :(

Stopit

You newlyweds are making me all colors of jealous - well, sorta <LOL>. But, I gotta compliment these pictures. Love really shows through when it's true - very, very sexy <smile>.

Ron, your wife and Karina could pass for sisters.

And, Fishing ... well, there is always a rod and reel in my car. But, no worries - I do the offshore thing, and I eat what I catch <mmm>.

Not a wedding picture but here's my family.

ronrca
06-19-2003, 12:04 PM
LOL! ;D Milton, Milton! Are you lonely? 8) Your time will come, just be patient!

For some reason I thought so too Milton that Anita and Karina look alike. Maybe its because Anita also has red cheeks now, high bones, brown eyes! Hair is different colors though. Its kind of funny. My sister inlaws dont look like sisters at all!

Karina,
Well, the wedding pics were taken by a family friend. He is a pro and we made a deal that we could get the negatives. That is sweet! So, I took the negatives to a pro photofinishing company to make prints for friends and family and also ordered a huge print. The picture has a cardboard backing and some kind of special finish on it so you can clean it. With technology now adays, you may be able to take just a pic in to enlarge. I think they make a negative from the picture then enlarge it. ;)

Dave,
Thats a really nice family pic! Your son is sure growing! Wow! ;)

Thanks!

Oh brother! I'm away from the board for a few days, I come back and stumble on this post. .....talk about a Human resources nightmare ! :o ::) ::) :-\

Ron, what are we going to do with you? I just got an email from Anita, madder than a hornet that got stuck in a car during a heat wave.... something about my forum being a bad influence on her husband.... man I'd hate to be you tonight! ;) ;D

Karina , Beth and others here... I'm sorry if any of the posts offended you. These guys spend all their time staring at their fishtanks, breeding cones...blackworm buckets and mulm... show them someone attractive and ...well... Their eyes pop out of their heads.... they sprout fur, howl at the moon... and well you know rest. :)

speaking as Brew, the member here, I love to see all the pics and hear about everyone, speaking as Brew the Admin... More content... less comment please! ;D

also not that anyone but Rons wife has complained :) ... but I'd really like to keep it that way! ;D ;D ;D

ronrca
06-19-2003, 12:53 PM
LOL! Funny, funny Al! :P

I must admit that simplydiscus is a 'bad' influence anyways, Faces to names or not! Just look at what happened to our spare bedroom (mini rack system) ;D plus getting more and more discus (fisheyes and cary)! 8) (If Anita had her way, Id have perhaps only 1 tank and no simplydiscus :( )

Sorry Al! My fault! Didnt mean any harm or offense! Just being friendly, perhaps going overboard! :-[

Thanks for the :spank: I'll try harder! ;)

brewmaster15
06-19-2003, 01:07 PM
If Anita had her way, Id have perhaps only 1 tank and no simplydiscus if she saw this thread... the honey moon would probably be over and you'd be on couch duty for a while, and lose your Pc priviledges. ;) :)



Sorry Al! My fault! Didnt mean any harm or offense! Just being friendly, perhaps going overboard!


No problem Ron.. I know its all in good fun. Just here to be sure I don't need to throw anyone a life Jacket. ;)


Simplydating.com maybe sometime down the road.. for now I think we'll stick to breeding fish. :)

Simplydating.com maybe sometime down the road.. for now I think we'll stick to breeding fish. I agree! Its much easier! ;D


if she saw this thread... the honey moon would probably be over and you'd be on couch duty for a while, and lose your Pc priviledges. O! Dont worry about me! I think the couch is worn out already! How do you think I got the rack system and the discus and this and that, etc, etc! Im not worried about the couch, now its the neighbours doghouse that Im scared about (one big scary dog they have). Btw Al! You may be surprised that Anita may agree with my comments! Sure wouldnt be the first time! ;D Serious!

And she still :love: me! ;D

Ok! More pics, more pics! Lets go members! ;)

Ron,
The picture...you're getting Man Boobs. When you move to your new office, maybe you should move the furniture yourself. Instead of fishtanks, put a treadmill in it.

OK, now you know that I'm just teasing you right?

Next time, sit up straight in a chair before someone snaps the pic. ;)

ronrca
06-26-2003, 01:01 PM
ROFLOL! Boobs? Cup A :o Its the shirt man! LOL! Actually, I use to work out quite a bit so I had some nice pecs. I do try to work at least twice a week still but not hardly like I use to, more jogging and light weight (having huge muscles isnt priority anymore). ;D (Its the gut that seems to be growing from all the jogging I think) Well, I told my wife that we can only have 1 big tummy at one time. First its my turn! LOL!

Ok! Hows this one?
