Front view, this is built into the wall and I have to trim it yet. But here it is.
I could not wait any longer for the wood to sink so I zip tied it to a rock. That was not quit enough so I had to stick a rock in the top.
Plants need to grow in. Behind the wood is Crinum calamistratum. They will grow tall and should wave in the current around the wood.
Then I have three red lotus bulbs at to create several focal points.
1. is in the back left you can just see it sticking up behind the rock.
2. right in front of the drain bulk head.
3. Is in front of the root where rock and curved root meet.

What is this Neptune ? is it another discus tank or just an replacement / upgrade of your current tank ?
How big it is ? What do you plan to keep in here ?
Good luck with your new tank Neptune .

Second tank built into the wall, back of tank is in furnace room.
How big it is ?
65 gallon tank plumbed with overflow to 40 gallon sump.
What do you plan to keep in here ?
The plan is when I get home from traveling the end of the month, I want to order
3 or 4 red Alenquer
2 or 3 Red Melons
and 2or 3 Golden Albino Pigeon Discus
Good luck with your new tank Neptune!
Thank you!
I am going to order smaller fish from SomeFinsFishy...but I thought ahead(for once!)
I plumbed in a bulk head about 3/4 of the way down the back. I throw a lever and the tank drains into the sump where it is pumped out to a drain in the laundry room. I wanted to grow the discus, so I figure I better make water changes easy.
Can't wait to get off the road and order some fish!(and living in a hotel for two weeks sucks!)
I should have taken a picture before I left.. the water lotus growth exploded and there are new leaves reaching the surface already.

I would start with half filled tank IIWY .
Changing 100 G daily would be a drag , considering the quarter size discus you are about to get .
Hi Nepture, nice tank Is that a drain line in back of the tank? If so it could easily suck small fish down the drain. Perhaps a thick piece of foam would help.
Pat
Your discus are talking to you....are you listening
Two weeks of lilly growth! Imagine the discus swimming around the long lilly stems!
AND
I ordered fish today!
3 red alenquer
3 Golden Albino Pigeon Discus
3 Yellow-Face Red Melon
They are all little guys so gotta grow them up!
Definitely need to get a back on the tank so you can't see the furnace room!

Shipment from SomeFinsFishy came in today:
Congrats to you, and the fish, as they don't know how lucky they are to have found a home in your tank The tank looks great btw, if there weren't fish swimming around I would not believe there was water in that tank!
I will be living through you vicariously throughout this growout, keep us updated!
Here is the stock list
3 Red Alenquer
3 yellow-face red melon
4 golden Albino pigeon (they send an extra just in case you get a DOA)
Look forward to seeing progress
Im not illiterate...only my phone's auto correct is
very nice, if i do another tank it will be stocked with the red alenquer, so interested in seeing how yours progress
