Re: 65 G.- Stendker juvie mix growout thread
An update after a 4 months from my last post .
Discus are 13-14 months old now and almost a year in my tank since I've bought them in march 2 inch sized.
This last 4 months they didn't get their optimal growth because a heavy disease struck them (fully described here :
http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...lems&p=1282001) but I'm still happy about their final outcome and size.
They all range from 5.5 to 6.5 inch to this moment .
Hera are some tank and discus shots from this month :

Your tank looks awesome and it is a credit to you.
Re: 65 G.- Stendker juvie mix growout thread
FISH IN PICTURE # 7 is my favorite of your group. they all look amazing Filip and great job with the plants. What lighting again?
Re: 65 G.- Stendker juvie mix growout thread
Well done Filip...your grow-out group are stunning and tank set-up very appealing to the eye. Something my wife would show more interest in rather then looking at my bare-bottom tanks.

#7 - a wild lookalike Alenquer discus . You are so hooked up on wilds and wild looking discus Jacklyn :) .
I use 2 x 54 watt T5 High output bulbs with reflectors . T5 HO's are already proven among plant tank enthusiast to have great effect on plant growth . Plants are all potted in soil + sand mix because I only have just enough sand to barely cover the tank bottom glass .

Thanks Ralph . Although a bit dissapointed i've missed my personal goal for raising 7-8 inchers with the disease that hit them, I'm still fairly satisfied with how they grew out .
And about wifes and their preferences , my wife got very disappointed and in disapproval of the tank Bare look for the 3 monts period, while I was treating them different treatments :) . She was a constant reminder and PIA of how sad and blue my tank looks :)
Now she's all happy and proud about the tank look again :)

Re: 65 G.- Stendker juvie mix growout thread
Despite all that went wrong you ended up with a beautiful group of discus if you ask me. Good on you for getting them here. I absolutely love your full tank shots, and i bet you get alot of pleasure sitting in front of it.
Enjoy the fruits of your hard labor Filip. Very well done!

Thanks for the compliments Joe .
After the long BB look of the tank during the growout period I do enjoy my current planted look of the tank . I've missed the sand and plants during the growing and treating periods , but now I'm back with my greenery and I do enjoy it .
