    So this is what I am ending up with for tanks:
    29 gallon breeder tanks - 4
    29 gallon hospital tank.
    55 gallon growout tanks - 5
    125 gallon growout tanks - 2
    Will have 55 gallon water barrels (4) for growout water.
    35 gallon RO container for breeding.

    I am thinking I will start with some smaller fish to grow out.
    1 adult breeder pair.

    Any thoughts from you guys on what I am doing?

    Larry

    Wow, you BS hatchery is huge and beautiful. I only have 3 bottles and my setup is not impressive like yours. How many air valves are on the shiny manifold?

    I'll stick with my sofa. It's as comfortable to sleep on as my bed and almost all of my tanks are in full view.

    Excited to maybe the first to get to see Larry's fish room in person !
    If all falls into line I hope to be visiting Larry Saturday and leaving him with a few of my 9-10 week old Santarems and their cycled sponge filter ..
    Always so cool for me to get to actually meet others and see their fish room ..
    I am looking forward to this now ..Glad I only need to wait a day !

    Looking forward to meeting with you too Tom, and getting some of those Santarems your growing out. They are a nice looking Discus. Also having some of your knowledge rub off on my fish room is cool also.

    Tom, be sure to take your camera. It's fun to see pics through someone else's eyes. I'm sure you will enjoy your Santarem's, Larry.

    Really nice set-up you built yourself Larry. Man that's not a discus room, but a Discus Lounge I hope you have planned for a nice couch. You will be spending a lot of time in there and not just for water change or maintenance.

    I saw in another post that you got your first discus Congrats now that fun beggins.

    Cheers Fred
