    Hi,

    we are 1 step closer to empty the tank,
    told the guy’s that i gonna quit.
    with Christmas i will make a list with all
    the fishes and corals i have and i will start selling them.

    yesterday i had a good call with discus texel and he will also help to cycle the tank and will send me some biomass to cycle the tanks when we are ready.

    the idea is for the sumpe.
    1 fleecefilter
    2 k1 media 65L (moving bed)(nitto L45 airpump)
    3 ceramic media mountain tree cilinders
    4 pumps and heater

    quarantaine tank will run with the main tank but can be switched off, and i will put an internal filter as well in the quarantaine tank.
    so i can use it for growing out or quarantaine with medication.

    thanks for all the help

    greetings Wesley

      Hi Wesley and welcome to SimplyDiscus. I too came from the marine side of the hobby to discus. Discus are way easier but more work. On my marine tank I did a 10% WC per week. With discus you could do daily WCs depending on stocking levels. Looking forward to seeing how you migrate from marine to discus. BTW, so nice marine tanks. Corals look very healthy.

                      thanks,

                      Yes it are great fishes over there.

                      yes my son is always helping.
                      he have 2 freshwater tanks. He collects pleco in 1 tank and in the other tank he have a group of 18 king tigers to grow them.

                      he can’t wait that we switch over and dat we can search for the same fish in the lfs.

                      he is always taking care of the marine tank now when i am away for work.

                      kind regards,

                      Wesley & jayden ;-)
