    Default Shan's The Beauty of Discus

    Hi everyone! Been a hot minute but I promise I've been busy. Just wanted to show you all my tank! After so much ups and downs as you can see from this thread,
    I've come a bit further than before!

    Please sit back and enjoy my 125g Discus Tank!

    Beautiful setup you have there, and the fish are looking large and lively. It's been amazing watching your fish grow from tiny babies into these magnificent plates. They sure look happy after moving into this large 125 gallon. Hope you get years of enjoyment from this tank, as you surely deserve it from all the effort you've put into the growout. Those daily w/c's sure made the difference in the end.

    Beautiful. Is that a Reflection D in there? Haven't seen that strains for ages.

    Thank you all! Hard work does really pay off!

    I added 3 strains from Golden State Discus about the time I went on my hiatus. They were Indiana Turquoise, Brilliant Turquoise (the blue one), and Brian and my favorite - Red Cover.

    I'd like to add that I also followed Al's 6 week QT procedure to the teeth including hero fish but I still ended up with a whole 2 weeks of cross contamination. But luckily Brian helped me through it and I did 5 TBSP salt per 10 gallons and daily 50% WC (which is insane on a 125 btw), and thankfully they all bounced back!
