I want this tank!

[strawberryblonde]

On nights when I have a lot of water to change I tend to escape to my computer while the tanks are draining/refilling... and then I open up youtube and drool over gorgeous tanks full of discus and angels. This is the one that transported me to another place and time tonight. =)

agreed this is a beautiful setup. his discus are gorgeous. my fav was the tiny ram that snuck in for a grab at the food. he wasn't even scared of those big angels at all

[DiscusLoverJeff]

That is one beautiful tank for sure.

Yea beautiful tank and fish. I've seen this video before on utube. When the video first starts, I as thinking wow is that overstocked. But then it pans out, and you see the rest of the tank. Lol

[Second Hand Pat]

Gorgeous tank. The only thing which would make it better is wild discus vs domestics :D

[plecocicho]

I agree Pat, a group of Nhamdas or Cuipeas or even Xingu goldens would look awesome.

[Len]

Agreed that wild discus would look much better with those angels, but an amazing tank just the same. I'd sit in front of that for hours if it were mine.

[Elliots]

I would love to have that tank myself. Even more important, I wish I had room in my small apartment for a tank that big! If I had room I would have gotten one that size but I am pretty sure my tank would never look that good.
