    An update after a 4 months from my last post .

    Discus are 13-14 months old now and almost a year in my tank since I've bought them in march 2 inch sized.
    This last 4 months they didn't get their optimal growth because a heavy disease struck them (fully described here :
    http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...lems&p=1282001) but I'm still happy about their final outcome and size.
    They all range from 5.5 to 6.5 inch to this moment .

    Hera are some tank and discus shots from this month :

    Well done Filip...your grow-out group are stunning and tank set-up very appealing to the eye. Something my wife would show more interest in rather then looking at my bare-bottom tanks.

    #7 - a wild lookalike Alenquer discus . You are so hooked up on wilds and wild looking discus Jacklyn .
    I use 2 x 54 watt T5 High output bulbs with reflectors . T5 HO's are already proven among plant tank enthusiast to have great effect on plant growth . Plants are all potted in soil + sand mix because I only have just enough sand to barely cover the tank bottom glass .

    Thanks Ralph . Although a bit dissapointed i've missed my personal goal for raising 7-8 inchers with the disease that hit them, I'm still fairly satisfied with how they grew out .
    And about wifes and their preferences , my wife got very disappointed and in disapproval of the tank Bare look for the 3 monts period, while I was treating them different treatments . She was a constant reminder and PIA of how sad and blue my tank looks
    Now she's all happy and proud about the tank look again

    Despite all that went wrong you ended up with a beautiful group of discus if you ask me. Good on you for getting them here. I absolutely love your full tank shots, and i bet you get alot of pleasure sitting in front of it.
    Enjoy the fruits of your hard labor Filip. Very well done!

    Thanks for the compliments Joe .
    After the long BB look of the tank during the growout period I do enjoy my current planted look of the tank . I've missed the sand and plants during the growing and treating periods , but now I'm back with my greenery and I do enjoy it .
