Hi everyone! Been a hot minute but I promise I've been busy. Just wanted to show you all my tank! After so much ups and downs as you can see from this thread,
I've come a bit further than before!
Please sit back and enjoy my 125g Discus Tank!

What a wonderful group you've got there Shan!
Those Stendkers looking good and thanks for posting yr journey with us.
Beautiful setup you have there, and the fish are looking large and lively. It's been amazing watching your fish grow from tiny babies into these magnificent plates. They sure look happy after moving into this large 125 gallon. Hope you get years of enjoyment from this tank, as you surely deserve it from all the effort you've put into the growout. Those daily w/c's sure made the difference in the end.
Congratulations Shan. Gorgeous.
Good work mate...your discus and tank look bloody fabulous :thumbsup:
Very nice! From the fish to the tank and the way you set it up, very nice!
Thank you for sharing it.
Respectfully, Matt
Beautiful. Is that a Reflection D in there? Haven't seen that strains for ages.
Willie
Thank you all! Hard work does really pay off!
I added 3 strains from Golden State Discus about the time I went on my hiatus. They were Indiana Turquoise, Brilliant Turquoise (the blue one), and Brian and my favorite - Red Cover.

I'd like to add that I also followed Al's 6 week QT procedure to the teeth including hero fish but I still ended up with a whole 2 weeks of cross contamination. But luckily Brian helped me through it and I did 5 TBSP salt per 10 gallons and daily 50% WC (which is insane on a 125 btw), and thankfully they all bounced back!
What's the strain name on this one?

Oh of course you would eye that one! It's my female flachen!
Very nice production Shan... Everything looks happy and healthy! I hope you've made it over your last hurdle!!
Hi Shan, beautiful fish and tank. It's been a hard road but hopefully well worth the effort. :D
Well done,
Pat
Could not have done it without you all. Thank you Brian and Pat! So worth the effort!
If you're missing any plecos check the sump and the intake. They would love to go there, lol...
Lol thank you Brian and Happy birthday!!!
The white bristlenose plecos I received from Brian! Love them soooo much
Great looking tank and Discus!! And presentation!! Keep up the great work. Guess you’ll be starting a 180+ soon :). Was the pump off for the video??
Aren't the little snots cute, Shan?
BTW, I should have posted earlier. You overcame all the odds. The tank is pristine and the fish could not look better.
Pump was on for the video. Maybe it was when I had the settings a little lower I think.
And yes they are super adorable. I absolutely love them with all my heart. Thank you for your kind words mama bear. You guys have no idea how much this tank's success is meant to me. Or actually you guys do! Lol
It's a very classy and clean setup.... Nice.
What an amazing come back! I picked your previous thread up when you had so much trouble last year. It was like reading a good book, I couldn't stop until I knew how will it end.
With this new chapter, it ended well. I absolutely love, love, love everything, but mostly your determination to become a successful discus enthusiast.
I am just establishing my first discus tank and have been dealing with some of the same issues you had last year. Your journey has helped me hit the pause button immediately and research, ask questions and seek advice from competent advisors. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It is a keeper.
Just a really gorgeous tank. Kudos.
