Hello, i'm new here, and i have wild discus from about 5 months.
My tank is not commercial tanks, was realized with extralight glass (sorry i don't know if it's the right definition.) 150 cm x 60 cm x 65 cm (h).

I have 4 wild discus rio purus, 4 wild discus Rosè Nhamudà and 3 semi royal Nhamundà.
I have many other finsh that you see in photo hemigrammus bleheri, peckoltia L134, panaque nigreolatus.

In this days i have buy the 3 Semi Royal and 2 Geophagus tapajos.

For now i use 2 filter, an Eheim 2080 and Tetra Ex 700 but in the next week i start to realize a Sump with Hambur Filter.

Welcome Robin,

Thattza Alrighty. I don't speaka itlalian at all. But wanted to say that you have some very
healthy and good sized Discus there. They musta have a good home. I think they call
it Amore!

This ios your tank, right?http://www.youtube.com/user/emigrafica#p/u/2/kYsBs03ya4Q
Could you put list of fish in that tank? How much and how many times do you change water?

[robin1]

Yes is my tank :) but those video was make some week ago... now i have only wild discus, when new fishes are ok a post a new video.

i change water every day, 3 times for day.. i have a r/o sistem of italian company that can make mixed water r/o + normal water (pre filtered) with wished values.
I create an automatic sistem, with timer and magnetic valve to start water production, and overflow in tank for automatic change.
Now that i start to realize a sump filter i study a sistem to make automatic change in sump and automatic treatment of new water with peat before the change.

[jball1125]

Very nice tank and fish. Did I understand correctly, do you change the water 3 times per day? What volume of water do you remove each time?

[robin1]

ah yes sorry... :) i change 30 lt of water/day

[Harriett]

Robin,
I am wondering about the plants in the video that are growing on the branches above the water. Are these [phalenopsis] orchids? If so, a very unusual but perfect thing to do, they sure look very happy.
Best regards, the tank is coming along nicely! Love the discus you have selected.
Harriett

[robin1]

Yes are orchids, i try with one and after i added others, with the humidity and temperature they are good. In few times addedd new leaf and new roots... now with this temperature in Italy, i close the tank with a frame betwen tank and overtank lighting.

The overtank lighting was made by me, with LED light.

Very nicely done and pleasing to look at. Fish look healthy.

[robin1]

That's kind of funny, but poor snails! No harm to them I'm sure though.

Thanks!! Sorry if i have no time to respond to all!...

[scottthomas]

Beautiful tank and fish. You do such a wonderful job on design and upkeep. Nice plecos too but you sure that is L134?

[robin1]

The pleco in the first photos is an L-014 (SCOBINANCISTRUS AURATUS)...
i have no photos of L134... i have 6 L134 but they are always hidden... :)

[robin1]

For substrate i use sand, white and very small...
For the pleco, not all pleco eat slime coat... panaque eat vegetable and wood. Sturiosoma the same... but sometimes i see that follow Discus... if i see that is a problem i remove fishes from tank.

[darkpandora]

[tisha85]
