Thank you, Jacklyn! I do have pics. But as im building new racks etc for my breeding projects everything is a bit of a mess in the fishroom. Im trying to dedicate 1000g to discus & breeding them. I've been painting tanks for days lol. Here is my humble start.
The new fish rooms.

Looking good. Neat work with those timber stands.
Re: My 6' Heavily Planted Discus Tank.
Awesome awesome Ryan. Love seeing threads like this and I'm a sucker for brown based reds. If I lived closer I' d definitely ask to buy a few of those SRs

Hello Poppa,
Love seeing and reading about successful breeding. Very nice and interesting setup. Discus with plants and driftwood.
Nirvana. Can I ask you without going to the water section, how you re-mineralize your water to get to 0. Is 0 tds.
the ideal number for breeding. I thought it was somewhere between 56 and 76.
Thanks, Jeff.

Just an RO/DI UNIT. RO will get ya close and DI will get ya to 0. Yes mine actually breed at around 50-100tds with noissues. Once im at 0 i then re-mineralize.

Hell yeah Ryan. I'd take them in a heart beat. Still would love to give something in return if that happens. May have some little ones as well (RR's or rt x VR)
Re: My 6' Heavily Planted Discus Tank.
I love this! I had my Discus lay eggs a couple times a while back but the eggs disappeared over night. I was thinking the Shrimp did it but it looks like you don't have a problem with that?

Sounds good Ryan! My thoughts the same. Actually haven't met many other discus owners.
