    Default A look around a section of my fish basement!

    Last August I moved to a new house so i could expand my fish room to a fish basement! I needed more room for grow out tanks & my discus addiction.

    That looks amazing Ryan! You really have a nice collection of fins! This video will cause a lot of basement envy. I know I am a little green with envy...okay a lot of green...

    Thanks for sharing. Would love to see the offspring from those gorgeous discus!

    Nice assortment Ryan! Tanks all look very well maintained and the fish look very healthy! I enjoyed seeing what you are working on there!

    Wow Ryan . Your Disneyland looks great .
    How many hours a day does this takes you to maintain tanks in such a pristine condition ?
    Do you use RO in all of your discus tanks ?
    Your Piwo Leopards and Cobalts looks gorgeous.
    Great work Ryan .

    I usually spend 4-6+ hrs in my fishroom a day. But in summers i spend all day. Im lucky enough to have an executive chef job at the University of Kansas and get 5 months a year off, paid (teachers schedule). This job is truly a blessing for me with my fish room & being a single dad with sole custody.

    I use RO water October-early march & also to correct TDS levels when needed. My water is 6.5ph 0trite 0trate & 97 tds out of tap during non winter. So my discus breed & raise readily in tap.
    Thank you for the compliments, Filip. I love these fish.
