    Well I am going to re-open the thread I guess.I didnt like using the tank for growing out the fry.. too hard to keep as clean as I wanted ..

    Returned to a greenhouse tank for a bit..

    I love the idea of a retirement home for old discus. Be aware you'll need a hospice tank in the near future.

    Al I have a question, did your plants come that big on your original post from Marcus Plants. They look huge compared to mine from Team Buce Plant. Jim

    Al are you keeping at room temperature? My basement get down to 60. I was thinking moving the stock from my 75 to the 90 and keeping the 75 as a plants only. Just a thought. I can use the HOB and get rid of the FX4 that is there now.

    Chuck I am running that tank at 77-78f. The 29g has a cheapo aqueon preset heater that has worked remarkably well for me. Im only using 2 hydro sponges on it.

    The 75 also just air driven when it was running.
