Re: is this a good set up for my first discus tank?
i got a question...how tall is your tank? and since your using metal halides is it too much? do you get light "spillover"??
i didnt really read through your thread, il prob tonight :D nice looking tank so far though...and is that the new fluval filter?? how do you like it so far?? ;)
Re: is this a good set up for my first discus tank?
Coralife205, all i want to say is that we all have tried to help you along the way. I can honestly say that you went against a lot of things that we specifically told you not to do. with that being said, I know how it is to hear some advise that kind of goes against your wishes/goals. I agree with Barb but at the same time i don't because i know of larger tanks than yours that can successfully maintain discus in a fully planted tank. I just think you need to feel comfortable with both elements (Discus and a fully planted tank) in order to one day put them together and have an environment where they will thrive. Whatever you decide please post pics here, we are not trying to discourage you in any type of way. there are many members on here that do not have discus but still are part of our community. the moral of the story i guess would be to take heed of advise given to you from those that have gone through what you are going through. after all, they are trying to save you the headache. Good luck!
