Sorry but I'm going to use metric here :

Tank : 200 l

Decor : Sand, driftwood and a potted plant

Lighting : two T5 fluorescent 38 watts

Filter (most important) : Eheim proffessional electronic 3 filled with 8 litres of splintered glass

Water : RO + Preiss mineral salts (only for this tank)

Changes : 15% twice a week

Water parameters : long time since I've stopped checking (sorry guys, guess I've got some homework to do) :o

Population : 6 Mari maris discus + 2 natural hybrids (very shy and hard to photograph), all juvenilles between 5 and 8 cm

Age : hard to tell but I've had them for one month now

I'l be uploading other pictures soon (other heckels too !)

Thanks for sharing Eric, they are some nice color young Heckels.
