    Here’s a year later video . Some things have changed. Had a few discus that just never grew to size. Moved 5 into the 90. Added about 9 discus between the 2 big tanks. Lost 2 since last year. The red cover and the dark angel.

    Your discus look healthy and bright eyed; your husbandry has paid off since your early days.

    Nice Tom. Tanks and plants look great! So I was just reading the issue with planted tanks with gravel is vacuuming the gravel in the root zones. So how DOES one keep the gravel clean in a planted tank?
    I like the bb look better I think.

    Greg I vacuumed the whole gravel. I went down to the bottom and around all roots. Plants grew great. Never had a tank made problem. The tanks in the first video those discus grew from 2.5” to 5.5” in those tanks. So it can be done. My first major problem came from new discus brought into the house. Whatever they had spread into both my other tanks. The heavy salt I used on the first tank would have killed most of those plant. So the plants were moved. I went bb after that. Got to say I’m not a fan. I like the planted look. Another big thing with planted tanks is Malaysian trumpet snails. They do a great job cleaning the gravel.

    I am happy to see the black rams that I gave you are doing well. I only have a few Blacks and maybe i or two pairs to sell. I am trying to empty my 75 gallon to make room for a 75 or 90 gallon acrylic and I don't want to add to the tanks I just want to replace the glass tank (bad shape lots of scratches for the prior owner) and go with another BB tank. Probably good for grow out tank eventually. There is a Clear for life 90 gallon locally in good shape and he wants for all $550 but would like to make him an offer for just the tank I have the stand for the 75 that fits the 90.

    I’d say you should be able to get it cheaper. Funny thing about acrylic is people are scared of them. I’ve got a 90 EC233237-9680-4B22-A061-46DEF331E852.jpg was my first acrylic. Got a guy out east who has one up for I think 150. He drilled out 2 holes in the back for a sump. Been debating it. Probably put some bulkheads on it to seal it. But I’d want it cheaper. It’s been up for months! Next time I’m out there I may go look at it.

    As of now I’ve got 8 fry at about 1.5” that seem to be back on track. 1 fry that was bloated I have in a 5g. It’s seems to be improving. First one that had improved after being removed. Was bloated but it looks like it’s been releasing whatever was bloating it. And the 2 runt I removed at week 3 that are now fine but half the size of the others.
