Wild Discus Tech Notes 3... Solid Browns and Blues...The basics and More....
Re: Wild Discus Tech Notes 3... Solid Browns and Blues...The basics and More..
The tank is a 77 Gal drilled with the overflow plumbed to a 33 Gal fluid bed filter. Return pump is a mag drive 9.5 that is plumbed back to the tank and split to two and connects to adjustable nozzles that are fit into bulkheads near the top of the tank. Substrate is just pool filter sand and a few pieces of manzanita branches. 500W heater in the fluid bed filter is controlled by an Apex controller that also controls the lighting and monitors ph. If I had to do it again, I'd reconsider the fluid bed though. It does an excellent job, but it's a bit noisy. A sump would be much quieter.
