    Some background to this tank. This is a 5ft tank with a 3 ft sump. It runs pressurised CO2 and with a 5hour photo period. The tank was started in Jun 2016 with various fishes (cories, yamano shrimps, golden tetras) added over a 6 to 7 month period. The wild discus (7 pieces) were finally added in on 17 Feb 2017. So these babies had been with me for just under 1 month. Thanks for viewing! I hope to continue learning from this forum!
    Love the tank! Can you elaborate on your plants in sand? Is the sand on top of another substrate?

    Hi, I only have sand as a single layer substrate around 2.5 to 3 inch deep. I would then put fertilizer balls (you can google them) beside the roots of the plants. Amazon swords do well. However, one will really need to be on top of your tank maintenance as planted tanks generate alot of organics.
