Hmmm frank i got one question, it looks like you have the tanks centered on the stand and not one the edge over the 2x4, is this true? or are you running supports underneath that i cant see? just wondering what is holding the tanks up

Hi Frank
I too enjoyed your story and love your set up

I agree with you, I have read a mountian of books and find that they only tell part of the story, Ive been with this forum for only 2 days and the help has been just fantastic and the info, well you just cannot put a price on it.

There is just not enough hours in the day to get through it all. ( I'm trying just the same)

the best of luck with your full time endevour

Rick

Hey Frank,

i have a question?

How big is that tank in the kitchen?

It's the first pic in the thread.

You got 23-24 discus in there?

What is the filtration and how often water change?

thanks

alex

[fcdiscus]

Hey Alex- that is a 55 with two sponge filters, and a Penguin 330 power filter. Insertds in the Penquin are cleaned every day and 50% water is changed every day. Wipe downs are done 2 or 3 times a week. I will have to thin that tank out soon. Frank
