Hi all,
Well, I finally put together a website for myself... Nothing fancy...and theres alot more I plan on doing but its the basics...and a start.

If you get a chance please take a look and give me some feedback here.... keep in mind....I'm not a web designer so don't expect one!:)

Theres one small quirk I have found that I need address with the way firefox browsers handle movie clips...It automatically plays the clip and loops it, whereas IE doesn't but...its not too bad an issue...

Okay then...introducing CTdiscus.com (http://www.ctdiscus.com)

I haven't added any fish for sale yet....but will soon.

Thanks,
al

Looks great Al! I remember first getting into discus around 2002-2003 (i think), and remember stumbling across your site its been just a splash screen since then until now! Must be exciting!

For a "non-professional" you came up with a very professional lookin site. Pics are great and it has a good feel to it too. Good job.

Thanks Everyone. Glad you like it... Its basic but I hope to build on it.... More Articles and info, a place to document experiments...yada yada...

I do have a bunch of fish for sale, I just need to take some photos and post them there.... but I don't intend that site to be a seller's site ...I'm a Hobbyist before I am anything else.

And for those of you that have teased me for years as to not updating it and bringing it online again....:kiss:....:D Told you I was working on it!:)

Nice job on the website:balloon::balloon::balloon:
Beautiful discus & plenty of information too!
The website gives you an idea of whats going on in the basement hatchery , but seeing it in person will take your breath away!:D
It must have been a hard task to limit the testimonials to a reasonable amount-I've never heard anything but compliments on transactions with Al.
Keep up the good work,
Rob

Thanks Everyone for taking the time to look. I've made a few minor corrections thanks to your feedback both public and private here... I'll try to add some stock on that for sale list as soon as I can.... and should be adding a new page or two soon.

Thanks again,

Hey Al are you gonna import direct from South America again?!;):D

Let me know, I might finally take the wild discus challenge!
Hmmm, Alenquers or Curiperas!:antlers:

Hey Al,

Again, it looks very good. Like the care guide you added but noted that under the diet section there are lines of what I can only call programming language?

Hi Kirk,
Thanks so much.... I checked both IE Browser and Firefox when I put this site online and didn't see anything wrong when I did......seems I missed that document...I'll have to look into why this happened... I guess its having issues with the word doc...I'll have to go in and try using HTML.... I think its the spaces that are a problem.:(

I'm guessing you use Internet Explorer as Browser? Firefox looks fine, but when I look at that page with IE...its garbled.:(

Thanks for letting me know!

Hey Al,

You're welcome. Yes, it's the spaces where the problems appear. And yes, I use IE at work because the IT nerds make me but use Firefox at home.

Your site is looking very good AL. If my insticts are correct, you are someone who puts everything into a project and I know it will only get better. The best part was geting to see some of the discus your keeping.

Al,
your site looks great,don't know where you find all the time to do everything you do ?The only thing i would like to see on the site is some more pics of your great Hatchery for those of us that unfortunately live to far away to visit !:D



cheers

Thanks everyone!:)

Hey Darren,


The only thing i would like to see on the site is some more pics of your great Hatchery for those of us that unfortunately live to far away to visit !

I'll see what I can do, Theres really not much to see other than the fish....I'm probably the lowest tech person on this forum when it comes to hatcheries... Just a lot of tanks, sponges, Aquaclears and of course discus.

I do have an automatic water change and feeding system thats built into the place though....me!:)So far its been a reliable though old fashion system.:D

I am in the middle of a painstakingly slow fish room build out that may as finances allow, be slightly more modern... we'll see how that goes...I'm already a year behind where I wanted to be.:)
Thanks again all!

Hi Bill,
