    Good luck with your chosen method of raising your group of discus Chad.
    I sure look forward to the progress of your fish.
    Can't wait to see some pictures of your new discus.

    Eddie,

    I'll be taking some photos in the coming days. The tank that I am using for the contest discus was not always a discus tank. I started converting it last night.

    It's a 110 tall and was the living room show tank for a few years. Mostly had community fish. Last night I stripped it, changed the background from black to light blue, sterilized it and changed the sand. I like to run the first 24 hours with tap water to allow the bacterial filter a better chance of surviving without bioload (higher Ph, like 8.7).

    Tonight I'll drain the tank and fill it with the dicus mix (tap/RO/DI). I have some new parts coming in for the filtration system. I haven't connected the sump yet. Maybe tonight. To that I'll be adding the CO2 reactor, Ozone reactor and carbon reactor.

    That's about it! Pictures to follow once it's all put together.

    Best wishes!
    Chad Hughes

    Kath,

    Thanks for reminding me! I forgot the nuclear reactor. LOL!

    I just went back and re-read what I wrote. It does sound a bit crazy! LOL!

    Best wishes!
