Well that's a nice-sized tank! Is it a 125 gallon? You have tons of space in there. Have fun setting it up
This is my new tank.
It needs a bit of work but I still have a bit to learn.
I am getting it resealed then I will get a cabinet.
Filter ECT ECT.
Then in a few months new fish.

Hey Nicole.
Awesome tank. Instead of looking at canister filters, consider having your tank drilled and putting a sump under it. As it's a long term project you should have time to investigate the best sump design for a discus tank.
I'm sure there are many people on SD that can offer advice.
Also it might be worth visiting the Aquarium Society of Victoria. You learn 100 times more stuff talking to people face to face at club meetings, and they often can help point you to where you can get stuff done a lot cheaper than paying full retail price.

Thank you all.
It will be good to move the thread.
I will look into the sump filter even though I have no idea what it is.
I saw a video with a tank that had white tiles in it so I might look at doing that too.
Let the journey begin.

After trying nearly every type of filter over the years I now use a sump, I don't think I would have a tank without a sump again.

I have been looking around and it is a bit expensive. I will ask the Husband if he could help.
I think we can do it, just need to see a working sump. To see where the holes have to be and stuff.
