    Thanks guys! The fish are still adjusting to their new environment. They have been hiding in the corners for the weekend. This morning I tried something with the lid of the BH box:

    I’m loving this thread and you are a inspiration to me...to design a aquarium. I’m currently looking at a 150 gallon to purchase in a few days. Hopefully the person posting it to a local Classifieds and it’s a great price. I was originally going to get a 120 but I like the bigger tank.
    Your Discus look fantastic and the layout is very beautiful.

    Thank you for the recommendation Rick. I'm going to try the Al's diskusgold pellets.

    It’s been a while since my last post, so here’s an update!

    My 150G tank is doing great, discus are doing fine and seem happy in their tank. Have a bit of algae on the plants, trying to work that out.
    Other than that, I’ve been struggling a bit with my quarantine tank currently stocked with sterbai corydoras. (“problem’ here: http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...tion-corydoras) My strategy is probably going to be a hero discus fish from my main tank in the QT, and see how it goes. Let you guys know!

    Some pictures I snapped the past weeks:

    So far, the best journal I've read for a first effort. And I've read a lot of them. Amazing success, and your discus are stunning. So cool to see how your photography skills have grown as well as your discus have. Thanks for sharing....

    The thread is brilliant,

    The success with the fish is such a rarity on this forum. I hope i can emulate some of this success
