Setting New Planted 75G Discus Tank

[rpmahesh]

I am setting up a 75G Discus tank for my Kids. I started setting this tank in March and to get it cycled and stabilized for the Discus.

My tank Setup and Parameters:
1. pH – 6.5 – 7.4
2. Filter – Two Eheim 2215 and Fluval G6
3. UV Sterilizer – 18W
4. Inline Water Heater 300W
5. Water Source – Tap (Primed)
6. Planted with Drift wood and Grape Roots
7. CO2 Setup with pH controller

I thank the forum for providing testimonials for some to the leading discus sellers and narrowed down on Kenny. I was on the phone with Kenny for over 2 hours yesterday Night choosing specimens. He was a great fellow to deal and provided some helpful tips through the process. He even went above and beyond to please me.

Following are the strains I have ordered from Kenny's Discus:
1. 3-3.5" Pigeon
2. 3" White Butterfly/White Scorpion
3. 3.5" Hi-body Red Turk
4. 3.5" Tiger/Carnation Snakeskin
5. 3.5-4" Penang Eruption
6. 4-4.5" Red White A-grade
7. 3.5"+ Albino Red Golden Diamond (striated)
8. 3.5"+ Albino Pearl Diamond (striated)

I have cleared all my existing fish stock and we are eagerly awaiting the new arrivals. I will add pictures of the fishes once they settle down. Wish me luck.

Here are few pictures on Day 2. Still they are very skittish. They like frozen blood worms but they didn’t like frozen Brine Shrimp.
