180 planted makeover

[saltydog]

I have been a member of this forum for a little while but do more looking around. I started freshwater back in Feb this year after about 12 years of saltwater and i am loving it. I do not keep a lot of harder to keep plants and not near as nice as some of the planted tanks i have seen on here.... but hey....i love my easy plants just the same :)
I recently did a makeover on my tank only because i was going to downgrade tanks. I had about 11 discus in this setup previously and have sold all of them in the hopes to sell this tank and i did not have any holding tanks for them at the time. When i did not end up selling i decided to give it a make over with some new driftwood and some major trimming. I am now getting ready to order a group of discus from Kenny and this will complete my fish.
anyway here are some shots i took today

I like the fish you have in there so far. It is going to be a great tank. What are you planning to order from Kenny?

Thanks i have had most of these fish since i started the tank in Feb. I am looking for the super flamingos and pearl pigeons.....I think. I say that until i see other pics. I would ove to have some of the RSG's but my pocketbook is not feeling the same way ;)
For now i am going to start with 5. I hope that will not be two few as far as aggression etc. Before with my group it was pretty large and they all got a long great for the most part except that i had a couple of pairs that were bit aggressive from time to time. But the tank gave them all plenty of room to breathe.

At 180 gal. I would think so.

Ahhhh see that is what worries me. I hate to spend that kind of money only to put them in a bad situation. On the other hand I certainly cannot afford to fill up a 180 with 10 or more discus at one time of the size i want to get..........:(
