I am also busy to stop with the RO water, building a mechanism that will filter 300 liters of water through carbon and Zeolite. Will also put some filter material, very excited for this. Will post photos as soon as I am done.

The VET only looked at a picture and it was classified as flagellates

What is allowable TDS levels according to you?

Hi

Still busy with removing gravel.

But I am also busy to set up another small tank for some young 6 - 7 cm (about 2.5 inches) discus. Just a few short questions...

The tank will be set up with R.O water because the fish will be moved to the large tank when they are big enough, and that tank consists of R.O water.

But I need to know if some external filter will be necessary? Because it will be a BB tank, that will remain clean and will have regular water changes?

Thus is a heater and an air stone sufficient?

Young 6 - 7 cm (about 2.5 inches) discus do not need to raised in R.O water,Aged Tap water should be fine.

Hi Everyone

Just finished the tank, will post some pictures tonight or tomorrow. I think it came out great and happy that I did the hard work because an the end of September 9 new discus will arrive and will have a lovely home!

Thank you for all the assistance

IMO the discus are not the best looking fish in this tank, the bosemani are the real STUNNERS!!!

[Martinus J.v.R]

Thanx

OP what a transformation!!!!!!!!!! The Discus look great and so much bigger. Look how much of a change it made removing all that substrate. Your new set up looks fantastic.

Wow! I echo Jacklyn's comments, what a great transformation! Beautiful tank!

bosemani's are no longer king of the tank in this situation
