Love the wood !
when fish is coming in

[auraball]

now is flowing water

about 3-4 day :)

[Eddie]

Very nice looking tank, very simple and effective.

[vera]

which wilds are u getting

[3dees]

looks great. what kind of light is that?

[auraball]

which wilds are u getting

Heckel and Red Alenquer

[auraball]

looks great. what kind of light is that?

led lights 30w

[vera]

they will complement each other very well , i will be getting Alenquers hopefully too
u'll have Altums with them as well ?

[Second Hand Pat]

Love the tank and the LED lighting. The wood is awesome. three suggestions however...would suggest a top for the tank. Discus can jump. You might need to dim your lights during the acclimation process. I see a lot of flow on the water surface and might need to reduce this if it creates a flow into the tank itself.

[jcardona1]

That's a cool LED floodlamp. I have the 10w version, great little lights! I was planning on using 4x of the 10w lights over my tank, almost the same as yours! But it's 60x30x24, instead of 60x24x30

[Dave B]

Cool setup and nice photos.

That is some interesting wood. In one of the shots they kind of look like the evil transformers from the new movies :)

[jball1125]

Very nice tank. Will be nice to see it with discus.

[morillonj]

gorgeous aquarium!! thats gonna look so awsome with wilds in there.

[auraball]

Those are some very nice wilds you got. Congrats, you have done a great job with the entire set up. By the way I did love the pictures of your previous Discus, those were also extremely nice..

Jorge

[jssquared]

All I can say is wow!!! I love me some nice wilds.

[vinny molloy]

Love your wilds plus tank is very different from the norm not a single plant which is good in my oponion.
That wood does give a very moody display.
What shoaling fish have you put in?

[goodoo]

That is some crazy wood. Your tank looks awsome. You need a couple of big swords in the back. Perfect.

[wendy9722]

Great looking tank and all the fish!!! I also love the quality of the pics. Thats not a cheap kinda camera. The lowest I could find was 305.00

Wendy

[Jennie]

lol wait till you need different lenses! those more expensive

[Jennie]

I got to ask about the substrate. where did u get?brand?

[3dees]

love the setup, but it looks really bright. I'm looking at those lights, but I'm thinking two 10w's. you might try some floating plants. wild discus and altums look so good together.

[Kingdom Come Discus]

I am impressed!!!!!! Great job.

[auraball]

Thank for all comment .


plz advice me about tank mate for this tank i want fish group [ size not small ]

thank.

[snowflake311]

The way the wood is make it look like monsters to me. I looks good.I love the light.

[Eddie]

Very nice! Might think of segregating the species in the future. Heckels on their own and blues on their own in separate tanks.

All the best

Hy . What about a group of eartheaters? They should complete the biotope well.

[Apistomaster]

A group of earth eaters would be a nice addition. They help keep the sand clean and they add some color, different shape and something with interesting behaviors.
I have kept some Geophagus cf. surinamensis with wild Discus for several years at a time once and they got along with the Discus well.
You find earth eaters in both Discus and Altum habitats. I don't think they would bother your Rummy Nose Tetras if you start with juvenile earth eaters and allow them to grow up with the Tetras they get used to them instead of considering them good to eat.

You also may find having a group of Hypancistrus or Leopard Frog plecos(L134) a nice addition. They will use the wood a lot for refuge but also come down and feed off the bottom.
That is some very nice looking wood you have.
For a touch of green a couple small groves of Cryptocoryne retrospiralis wood look nice as would a few Nymphea Dwarf Lilies. If the lilies are allowed, they will send stalks to the surface with parasol like floating leaves which provide a bit of shade for the fish.

No need to worry. The wild Discus and Altum Angels love this sort of wood work and they are designed to navigate in and around such wood safely and skillfully.

hey , incredible looking tank , congrats ... all i want to ask is how many Kelvins are your led lights :)

[eco-mod]

I love the tank, I may even take some inspiration from it as I build my 110 again. The lighting really sets it off for me too.
