Hi, guys
Im in search of a new tank for my discus at the moment I have 6 discus ranging from 3.5 inch to 4. Im looking for a nice show quality tank nothing too fancy, but yet nothing to shabby. during my search I encountered the Oceanic Illuminata which is a rimless 57 gallon tank.
There some pictures of it posted on this other forum, but I believe they made this into saltwater, in addition there is a reef ready and non reef which of course I will be getting the non reef.

Ok, well my question is if this would be a suitable tank for housing 6 discus since I know that discus need a large ammount of space.
dimension are as follow. (L 36 x W 18 x H 21) totalling 57 gallons.
I plan on placing discus only with a group of 6 cory cats and maybe 4 octo for algae control. In addition I plan on getting a Marineland 350 deluxe canister for filtration which is recommended for up to 100 gallon if correct. I will also add 50% water changes twice a week.
In conclusion guys, Im in love with this tank, but yet if I see that my discus wont be confortable I rather just look elsewere, but defenitly I want a rimless tank. If you all come across any nice rimeless tank let me know I tried doing some research I would prefer any reputable brand such as Marineland, Oceanic ect, but also please dont add 1,000 dollars tanks. Im trying to get the most for my money. thank you all, and god bless all....
