    The new water is about 74F/23C (room temp) and yes, they eat right after. The only thing these guys are scared of is when I open the door to the stand; then, they scurry under the sponge for a few seconds.

    To answer Al's prompt, the lighting schedule for these guys is 6:00AM to 9:00PM.

    Here they are in hunger formation:

    Looking good! How do you like that aqueon pro heater? I picked one up last minute for this challenge and have really liked it (moreso than the ebo jager). Ive had a few glass ones explode and this seems like a nice alternative.

    Thanks, Joie.

    Eric, Aqueon Pros are my favorite by far. My only complaint is how finicky the temperature setting is, but other than that, they're solid.

    Scrubbing the tank bottom scares the little guys apparently. Not something I usually worry about (first time doing it with this tank), but boy did they sulk afterwards.

    I like the hunger formation pic, like they’ll just mosey on up there to see what the hold up is. Ha They look great Adam.

    Meant to post this earlier tonight, but Ian Kinsler can't throw a ball to save his life. Anyways, the babies were getting pretty feisty with each other, so they were bumped up to a 20 long.

    Yup, with you on that one. I think we all missed Pedroia there. Oh well. At least the discus are doing well! New tank looks good!

    Made a slight change to the tank. Instead of an air, the sponge is now powered by a 100 gph powerhead.

    Also, here's how I stabilize water in 2-3 hours instead of overnight. The thing shooting the water is a fan spray nozzle from HD.

    Thanks, Bill! Not sure why the rest of my family was worried though. Mitchy Four Bags and Pearce are MONSTERS! Let's hope they wrap it up tonight.

    Damage Done, brothah! Crazy how good that roster was from top to bottom. And how about 2+ nights of relief pitching from Joe "Nails" Kelley?

    As for this discus competition, we're just going to have to grind it out, one fish at a time.
