Axl's 400g planted discus tank

[axl10]

Hey Guy,
Finally finished my new 9x2.5x2.5 planted tank. Have been planning this for nearly 2 years now and it took roughly 3 weeks to setup. Flitration is a 6x18x18 sump with a 800w titanium heater in sump and a 300w eheim in the main tank. Really happy with how it has turned out and can't wait to it fills in. There will be 15 red turqs going in there they afre currently in a grow out tank. Please feel free to ask any questions.

That's quite an impressive tank and I look forward to seeing how it grows in. Did you have to do all of that planting with tongs? And you decided to ditch the 3D background?

The Leds are on a auto program system and they come on at 6.00am and go off at 11.00pm. They have various % of light during this period from 5% to 100%. They are awesome and the plants are greening up nicely with the various anubius putting out new leaves already. Not sure exactly what the GPH is but i have got 2 x 40mm Stand pipes one in each corner i will get some pics up at some stage of the discus. They are all NA Discus and are excellent quality.

Thanks for answering and sorry for the abrevvations misunderstanding . GPH is gallons per hour mark on the pumps that pushes the water .Its a measurement for a waterflow .
Now as far as abbrevattions goes . What's a NA discus ?

the pump is 1500gph and google NA Discus. We have a guy here in Australia that imports these Discus they are the best quality fish Australia has ever seen.
