180 gal new set up no discus yet

[trinidentist]

180 gal planted about one month ago, i was worried about the swords but the new leaves are nice and green the eloda is grwing like a weed.
swords, vals, cabomba, one tiger lily and some others i dont know what they are. I dont think the guy i bought them from knew either and he was breeding them but the plants seem to be doing ok.
only a few rams 6 corys, 1 pleco.
waiting for the LFS to get new stock of community fish. Have no quarantine tank so Discus have to go in last getting them from local breeder.

pot scrubbers for the wet dry filter.Increases surface area A professional set it up.
so for ive just done the planting (took about 2 hours perched on a ladder)and maintainance
i really didnt know that much about aquariums before this.
so ive been a simply discus regular reader to get up to speed.:)

the space at the bottom of the tank was because i had cut a hole for a 36 inch high tank but was stongly advised to only go 30. omly after planting did i understand why.

Even a 30tall can be a pain for us peoples with short arms XD
Buy a ladder and some snorkel equipment!

Very nice looking tank you have going there.
Love the look of your rocks, looks like a little mountain range.
Is it all one piece or several put together? Do you know what kind of rocks
they are? Again very nice layout, good job.

Very nice looking tank, it will look really nice once you get some colorful discus in there.

looks good.....its not just cold water coming out of the tap for water changes is it?

[newe70]

Before today the last post in this thread was back in March. I wonder if this member is still active. I'd love to see how this one turned out.
