I may (MAY!) change some things around with my current 75g tank. For those that do not know my tank, you can find it here:
http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...row-out-thread
That thread is of my grow out group to show you what is currently in the tank.
I had previously said that once my discus turn 1 yr old I wanted to do something with the tank other than BB. So, I am putting it up for a vote.
Keep in mind, I have the last word on what I will do, but it is good to get people's input as to what they think may look best. Also, keep in mind that I do not plan to do this before NADA. After I come back I will have had the discus for close to a year and they will pretty much be at the size that they will generally stay at. I will keep feeding quality foods, but possibly not as often depending on what I plan to do with the tank.
So, here goes.
The options:
1) Add only Sand
2) Add only Driftwood
3) Add both Sand & Driftwood
4) Add plants (I'll tell you now, I am really not leaning towards this at all)
5) Add a SpongeBob figurine with a pineapple
6) Leave the tank BB for another 6 months
7) Leave the tank BB for another year
8) Leave the tank BB forever!

I voted for only a year of BB because I am firmly opposed to making definite plans.
SpongeBob?. That's so last week. Lego tractors is where its at.
I think that hart24601 had a nice tank, I liked the BB and one solo wood piece and light plants. Not so many like he had in the end but like the beginning. I have to say that Starboard bottom I love, only have it in my SW build as you know but it's a super clean look.
I like the looks of it now but suspect you may second thought in time so my vote is a toss up...
6) Leave the tank BB for another 6 months
7) Leave the tank BB for another year

BB, Driftwood, & 1 nice potted sword.
I've learned to like an BB tank just for the ease of cleaning. I would add some wood to set up an hiding area for the fish and the ease to change things up every now and then. In my case I'm always changing things around in my tank. Adding plants are another job in itself. Just keep it all simple baby.....
It seems sand and DW is giving you BB guys a run for your money!
