A monster journal...My 190g wild discus biotope!

[Vette43]

I am just getting back into fish keeping and I am setting up a 120g tank for my mom. (She lives only a couple miles from me and my house built in 1762 does not lend itself to a large fish tank) She is refinishing her basement so I framed a wall that will house the tank and the sump. I have a 55g and a 75g that I can use for the sump. Note sure if having extra water in the system would be that beneficial. I had planned on doing a planted tank with CO2 and controller but after seeing your setup I think I have changed my mind. I tried to send a PM but I need to post 5 times before I can PM anyone. I will keep my eye on this one... keep up the good work

Awsome tank Jose, the write up is fantastic too! Great build!

Since now I am considering a tank like yours and I will not have any plants to generate oxygen, I have a few questions. (hope I am not hijacking your build thread)
1) Should I add air in the sump? I don't want a lot of bubbles in the display tank.
2) Will the surface area of the display and sump be enough?

HI,

I entirely read your thread and it´s incredible what you have acomplished! It has been more than two years without posting hope you can let us know how is everything going?

I suppose you have discus again in your tank.

And yes we want more pics...

Don't know how I miss this thread but your tank and photos are amazing... thanks for sharing... I have been tinkering about using Arduino in my future fish room.
