Hello everyone. I've been registered here for a few weeks and decided to post a thread. :)
I've been involved in fish practically my entire life and currently have a 65 gallon African Cichlid setup as well as a 10 gallon holding take for the fry the cichlids produce.
I now have decided to step up into the 'big leagues' and will be setting up a 125 gallon planted take running compressed CO2 and will be keeping discus, apisto's, cardinal and emperor tetra's, as well some other various fish/shrimp to keep things clean.
Well I attached two photo's of my 1st discus currently being held a 20 gallon qt tank till the 125 is completed. After a month or so of having these two discus in the 125 if all goes well, I will be adding about a dozen nicer looking discus. Perhaps some blue diamonds, red melons, leopards and turq's. I will post pics of my tank once it is complete. I have everything I need except the substrate which I have on order.
1st is Royal Blue about 3.25"

2nd is a Pigeon Blood about 3"

Photo's taken in my "photo tank" with a black exterior painted background using a Canon 20D, 18-55mm EF-S lens with Hoya +2 diopter, 550EX Speedlite and 420EX Speedlite both with diffusers. Photoshop used to clean up any floating debris (which stands out well against the black background).
Oh and photography is a mainstay of my job, so I will also post pics of the fish once added to my 125.
