Opinions on my 110 x-tall discus showtank aquascape

[pitdogg2]

Beautiful set up. What are the tank dimensions, if you don't mind sharing???

I believe if you think 90gl that is 6" taller you'd be very close so I think 48"x18"x30"

I love the back ground, is it 3D??

Your tank looks even better after the clean-up , re-scapeing. It will put all the focus on your discus fish.
Looking forward seeing them swiming in here .

Attachment 102759Attachment 102758Ok so did a little rescape/declutter yesterday. I'm really happy with the way it turned out, and think it will really put the focus on the discus that arrive next week. It also created a lot more open swimming space. I think it's a much cleaner look,while still looking natural. Sorry it's so dark in the pictures...the lighting isn't great in this room after dark.

WOW! Amazing job. I love your tank...

Thanks everyone! I'll be sure to keep you updated when my discus from Kenny arrive (likely next week). EJ_B, the tank is 48.75 inches long, 19 wide and 31 tall.

Yes, it is a 3D background. It's nice to be able to hide the filter inlet/output. I hoped to hide the heaters behind it as well, but there just wasn't enough flow, even with powerheads back there. Thanks for your comments

that is beautiful OP!! from an aesthetic standpoint it was perfection in the beginning. I have one small suggestion. They say that things that are exactly centered are not aesthetically pleasing because it is to unrealistic for our eyes to force our brains to believe. IDK whether I believe all that but I do know that its true. Ive done scapes with center pieces and it looks so much better if I move the center object slightly off center, in this case your split in the jungle val. I think you should do it slightly left or slightly right, perhaps move one or two stems and it will be better. were it me I would move the last jungle val on the left to the right so the big chunky part of your back ground still shows but it takes the perfect center focus off a tad......

JUST a thought! it looks great as is!

Nice idea! I'll try that!

I just though you all might enjoy seeing the before and after of the tank setup. I had purchased this tank used, and in pretty bad shape and did a complete refinish on the canopy and stand, and a thorough de-calcifying on the class. I also restored the 3D background with aquarium safe paint. That restoration process alone took over a month. IMG_1546.jpgIMG_1547.jpg
