Full tank shot 55G over-filtered tank with denitrifier (My three discus are in a community tank, clown/kubotai/yoyo loaches, cardinals, dwarf gouramis, bolivian rams, rummynose, espei, glo-lights... these are the blurs LOL!)

I did a bit of cropping/level adjusting and bordering, also took out that annoying tube in Zao's shot, but none of the colors were altered.

Will get more as i have time, hope you enjoyed!

Well...now I feel much better! That was fun. How are those glo-lites in that tank? Not become a snack yet? They look like a fishing lure to me! What is your tank temp? And how the heck do ya' clean between the decor?!

[Xirxes]

ahahah well the glo lights i have are big as horses, because i feed the tank 3-4 times a day (3 times flake, 1 time frozen), the cardinals however were snacks early on because i nubishly originally stocked with 2 golden Killifish (yikes!), but other than that nothing is very bothered any more.

I keep the tank at 84 preferably, it waxes and wanes between 82 and 84 daily.

I do two 30-40% water changes weekly with a python, and when i gravel vac, a lot of the small plants come up, so i just plop them back down! there are some sections (under the maze of malay drift) that probably dont get hit enough, but thats what the loaches are good for! They are constantly rustling about under there kicking stuff out.

Discus keeping is only fairly recently a hobby of mine, my first and main passion lies in the reef. Here is a pic of my little 10G i keep at my place:

and the 90G at the parents

I think eventually i will end up with a 125 planted for these discus, hopefully sooner than later!

Really love to see these pictures resized so I could enjoy them more.

[Xirxes]

apologies, they all fit on my screen! Give me a good width (pixels), i can change them all in a jiff for you, right now they are 1280 width

[fishmama]

Those reef tanks are amazing....the mere 10gal comes off as being much, much larger. And the 90gal is fantastic. Nice job...

[greyhoundfan]

Very nice.. 600X400 should fit ok.
