Thanks Daniel,
The substrate is called, Samurai Soil. It’s suppose to be good for shrimp, doesn’t change ph or increase hardness.
I just recently started dosing ferts. I picked Easy Green from the Aquarium Co-op because it’s shrimp safe and very easy to use. It’s all premixed liquid ferts, so I just squirt once per 10 gal and have 3 different bottles. It’s my first try with ferts, but so far so good.

I really like Discluv’s Discus tank. I think “less is more” with discus tanks. The discus are the star attraction and when a simple wood piece and a few well chosen plants are added, it really makes a statement.
I like your geo’s too. I’d like to try a group of them one day.

Oops, well everything I said above to Ed. Ha

Was a Dutch scape tank before adding discus. Some plants equipment had to be changed.
Some plants still need to grow out.
The Macrandra has to be be changed when I decide on what to substitue with.

Thanks Mando,
Look out Mando-that’s what happened to me! They are even more beautiful in person. I wasn’t an angel person until I saw Liz’s half blacks. At first glance it looks peaceful and serene, but the angels are little firecrackers so it’s never dull.

I have more of them for sale, just no pairs. I love Aquabid, but I prefer to sell to folks who are not perfect strangers.

Planted tanks are my first love and my discus are the last .
So I'm always struggling between the two of them , plants and discus .
Here are some timeline photos of my planted discus tank through years :

Hello. It's been a while. I moved from LA in 2008, so I had to get rid of my fish. I finally setup another discus just last year. Minnesota water is awful so I had to take a lot of extra steps to make it work, mainly having my own RO system. Happy to say, it's been going good. I decided to do a planted tank this time, so I've spent the last year learning a lot. Here are my results as of two days ago. Glad to be back.
