So I wasn't happy with the previous scape. Flow was non existent so I changed it up again.
Nature aquarium style but very simple. Once the Sag Carpets and rotala grow in, it should look pretty good.

Here is a nice evening shot of the tank. Everything settling nicely now after a good water change and fertiliser top off:

Overall we are settling in well. I've added a few more plants. Some crypts and another I forgot the name of. They both need to convert to a submerged state

Lots of new growth on the anubias

Rotala is growing in well

One of these s repens is doing well. The other was moved into the tank after being in a cooler setup for a week. It's not doing great but will bounce back

Something amazing has happened!!!!
My first discus eggs. I guess they like the setup. I'm like a child lol. So excited.
I'm not sure who the pair are or even the female to be honest. I've just nipped home before travelling for work to these!!!

These are the first eggs I've seen so I'm a bit excited to say the least...and now I'm working away until Friday :(
We have a pair. Pretty sure George the dark orange is the male. And Sunshine, the light orange/yellow is the female.
The wife and I had always thought they were a pair but until now had no way of knowing.
Here they are working hard to fan the eggs

Hi Marc, congrats on your first spawn. :) At this stage if you watch closely you will see the parents fanning the eggs. They really can not move the eggs as the eggs will not re-stick to a new surface.

Hi Marc, sounds like it could be a second spawn vs a moved first spawn. You could also have more then one fish laying eggs.
Pat
Congrats to the grandparents!
Well....They have eaten all the eggs. But that's ok. They are young and will learn and it's good to know I have a pair.
...I'm now thinking about setting up their own tank. Bare bottom. Tons of tannins, low light....Just have to convince the wife.
The tank is so clear! Love the setup.
Re-arranged the scape...again lol. Came back after being away for the week and there was clearly some dead spots.
Although it looks more full, the tank is much more open with this jungle style scape. All the same plants and wood, just shifted around. A lot more interesting for looking at and the fish are darting in and out of everywhere. Really fun.

I must confess that I am surprised that your discus are not much more stressed. You move your landscape around a lot (btw, they are beautiful. You have a real talent).
