I have a 125 g discus tank with 11 discus ranging from 3.5" to 5", different strains.

I'm not new to fish keeping. I had my first tank about 8 years ago and the current discus tank was set up about 14 months ago.

Here are the details:
125 g
36 Jabo UV unit
2 fluval filters 304 and 404
2 300w heaters
temp 86F
ammo 0
nitrites 0
nitrates not tested
pH 6.4 - my tap water comes out at 7.6 and went to 8.3 in 24 hours. I use Discus Buffer to lower the pH to 6.4
11 discus
3 cory
4 ottos
driftwood with java moss
PC lights
UPS backup for filters
Feed 2 to 3 times a day with different flakes, frozen BW and other frozen fish food
40% water changes twice a week.

Hello and welcome to SD fishlover. YOur 125g sounds alot like mine. Same filter and heater setup exactly. There are some good threads about how to
upload your pics. Look under the photo gallery section and the thread about posting pics. I look forward to seeing your setup. :)

Hey fish go to ms paint an resize them a lil smaller. Hit the image tab, then hit stretch an skew button, then decrease both the vertical, an horizontal by 60%. Should workjust fine for you. They both start at 100...Just backspace an type in 40 on both of them, this will downsize them by 60%.
