@DAgosto5 Yes at first it did but since I performed 50% WC's every other day it was hardly noticeable unless I did'nt do one for longer than a week or two.
I just cant stop watching it over and over again... Man you made such a simple but so amazing discus tank.. i also have a 100g planted discus tank,but plants are not so common with discus.. i'll try to get rid of the most plants and make space for my discus to swim... Love your tank!
wow beautiful tank man and like others have said the drift wood piece you got is very nice. i normally like like plants in aquariums but in your tanks case its beautiful with out any!
I'm looking at getting discus fish, but they can be very expensive and i worry what would happen if they ever got white spot and how to best tackel it.
These are beautifual fish, but if they get a disease then they are all at risk, how do you prevent this?
All perfect...floor, background, driftwood, fish, music you are surely not a beginner you have a long time experience in setting up tanks, am i right.
I've spend a few hours to see your film again because I dont remember tittle but I cannot forget this sight!Thank You for enjoy all of us .You are my inspiration.It is simple , elegant and profesional.Good job.
wow thats really neat! did i see a Bolivian ram cichlid? those are one of my favorite fish ever! i really like the tank. just out of curiosity, how much was that driftwood?
This is just BEAUTIFUL man! This removes any doubt I had about setting up a large freshwater system over saltwater. My dream is a 220g tank with malawian cichlids. But I may have to set up a tank for discus too, as I love that they are compatible with those beautiful schools of tetras!
Beautiful tank, they all seem so happy. I've never seen such amazing specimens. I like your little ram too... so cute. At 3:03 what's up with the shy guy?
This is just gorgeous! So soothing. I have a 10 gallon freshwater tropical tank and a 29 gallon goldfish tank. They are no comparison to this one. I love my fish, and I love taking care of them. Great job!
fantastic discus aquarium! This is a credit to yourself and your devotion to keeping discus. I would love to keep them for my water is too hard. Would you recommend you sticking with fish that are suitable for your water conditions? I've also heard that you need to do a 50% water change every other day for discus?
Hi. Think the tank looks amazing. I'm setting one up myself and I had a question. How did you apply the background? Did you use the background fixing glue or is it just taped on and are one of the light bulbs blue or are they both White?
I noticed many were also interested in your background, like myself. I just bought it from Amazon.com for $2.99/ft. I hope it looks as good in person on my aquarium as it does on yours. Your Discus have amazingly bright colors. A very Happy tank, good job!
Your tank is phenomenal, not only does it look amazing but your fish are so healthy, active and happy. You've actually created such a perfect environment, your combination of fish is so great, you've put a lot of attention on making sure that your discus are not only the focal point but that the supporting cast fits in perfectly as well. I'm planning on setting up a discus tank of my own within the next year or so and will definitely look to your theme for inspiration.
@F8LBITEva It an amazing aquarium, how did you create the background ? is it paint or some paper it looks for natural. I would like to implement same in my aquarium, I'll appreciate if you can guide me.
Excellent tank. I agree with your points of substrates etc. I am constantly swapping from gravel base + plants to an empty tank. PLease check out my 7ft discus tank. Thanks a lot
Awsome tank bro! i see that you said you wanted to minimise clutter of plants etc.. just a sugestion you could atach small plants to that awsome bit of wood you have using string which would give a really cool effect and is still 1 item in all then... wicked tank and your discus are amazing :D
I love discus. You have a very nice simple set-up fish looks healthy. but i will just stick to my cichlids, discus fish is hard to take care off and im still an amateur fish keeper.
How often do you do water changes? And how much do you change? I'm looking to move up in the fish world now that I have more experience. I know discus need a great water quality to do well but that's pretty much it.
Those are some beautiful fish ! Very nice tank. How are you liking the aquaclear filters ? I have 2 emperor 400's on my 100 gallon and I am thinking about switching , not sure.
I really like the shape and coloration of your discus. Could you tell me if you have your tank in a basement or in your living room. Reason I am asking because I would like to put a 120 gal in my L.R. but not sure if it (the floor )will take the weight. Thanks ..mr ray
I love the color contrast. Plants or no plants, this tank is gorgeous. I simply love discus but I'm still a novice in the aquarium world. Once I get more growth (yes i do have plants) I'll post a video.
II see a german blue ram. Am I right? job well done on the tank and the video. This video should give my dad some ideas for his new tank. His tank is square in shape but real tall. Do you think diskus would be a good fish for that shape of tank?
Ok, so this is not a natural looking aquascape, but that's irrelevant. Your fish look very healthy and brave; they are not hiding behind the driftwood or anything, so they must be doing fine! That's what counts in the end, right? I kinda like the layout, though it looks artificial. The driftwood looks amazing! As far as the bubbles go: ok, you would not see them in amazon, but they still have a purpose (besides for the looks) by creating a ripple to the water surface and helping in gas exchange.
Buddy i like to see your new video of your beautiful discus fishes. believe me you have got the best set up as far as i am concerned. by the way, i got a huge piece of driftwood as well. i checked my water parameters and looks to be good. PH-7.4, GH and KH 45 ppm ammonia and nitrite is 0. i am going back to sri lanka next month and can't wait to start it buddy. how does the water parameters sound..? please post your latest video. you rock and keep rocking
take a look at "Mac's Discus Enjoy Life." The planted discus tank in that video has a sump tank below for filtration & aeration. PVC tubes are embedded in the substrate to cultivate anaerobic bacteria.
hey man. beutiful tank. Although i like plants, i know the importance of showcasing fish, ease of maintanence, and focusing on their health. dont listen to the idiot matcs48a or whatever. He obviously cant tell your fish are happy by their color, which is one of the most obvious and beginner attributes to be looking for. He's an idiot. Congrats on your tank, the driftwood you got is amazing too. Where did you pick it up? My 55 is almost done cycling and i need a 2 pieces around 16-26"X12-20"
@supertasticasian Thank you sir. I got the DW from a local guy and Ive never seen a piece like that anywhere. Another good place to find DW is at a beach. I recently went to a beach in NC and happen to be in a gift shop and they had gigantic pieces of driftwood they had collected that had washed up on the beach. I got two big peices for $10 each!!! Good luck.
@F8LBITEva oh man, i got to check it out. 10 bucks per piece? thats a dream, i payed 40 for my 2 pieces. I mean their not tiny, but for 40 bucks i would hope i could get a little more. I heard though that getting driftwood from the beach is risky, since they've been absorbing saltwater for long periods of time, leading them to leach them back out into the tankwater. Kinda like neverending tannins but instead of yellow residue its salt XD
thanks for the information, just curious to know if well water will be fine for discus fish and some rocks. At the same time, how often do you clean sand substrate and how..? Do you take the sand out or cleaning them within. also.is it good to have a bare bottom or slight sand bed. sorry for posing too many questions but you can be teacher to this student. Thanks again......
WOW awesome set up, these are some of the prettiest fish ive seen. The simplicity of the tank really brings out the vibrant colors of the fish. great job. I saw your profile on MFK. I am also in NOVA. Dnt mind the haters,
WOW awesome set up, these are some of the prettiest fish ive seen. The simplicity of the tank really brings out the vibrant colors of the fish. great job. I saw your profile on MFK. I am also in NOVA. Fnt mind the haters,
Wow awesome set up, these are some of the prettiest fish Ive seen, very simple but wonderful affect. i saw this profile on MFK and see you live in nova, same as me. great job.
If plants don't do well at 85 how do my amazon swords, anubias, and java fern thrive and all of the plants from the real amazon do it? May be there is a giant air stone in the amazon, get real. Do you think your the only person to keep discus in a tank? Take a look at all of the other videos with discus. If you want something easy to clean try a Hello Kitty tank.
@matcs48a Im going to go ahead and use the 8,000+ hits this video has gotten as an indication of a job well done. Im no beginner, nor am I looking for an "easy" tank to keep, Discus constantly emit slime that coats the inside of the tank and needs to be scrubbed on a regular basis. Therefore I chose to keep it clutter free. I also wanted to showcase the colors of these fish so that is why the tank is "sterile" looking. Feel free to post videos of your tanks so I can see how its done.
@matcs48a its called taking good care of the fish. put an amzon sword in a 75 degree envirement and watch it become an invasive species. Put more oxygen in the water and watch the already hardy colorful fish become stronger and birghter. You obviously dont know shit. monkeys live in the wild. Put it in the zoo and it'll be safe from danger, and happier. i dont know if your stupid, but you should focus on the fish's happiness. not the fking plants. look at how expressed the fish's colors are.
Looks sterile, no live plants...looks like it was set up 5 minutes before the video was shot. I prefer a natural environment. Needs plants and get rid of the bubbles.
@matcs48a So im an amateur because I dont have plants in this tank? Since you are such an expert I dont need to tell you that plants dont do well at 85F and that the air stone is needed for more aeration because of lower oxygen levels at higher temps. You probably already know most discus keepers keep a tank free of substrate or clutter for ease of cleaning and syphoning. I would love to see videos of your tanks....oh thats right you dont have any. Class dismissed.
@AOmonsta When the vid was taken I had two Emperor 400's on there but I have since replaced them with two Aquaclear 500's. They are better filters IMO.
amazing tank...i really really loved it...one day ill have one like that... for now, im ok with my bettas... but may i ask whats this lovely song? thanks...
@rayhanyou Its just a stick on background I got off of ebay. At first I didnt think I would like it because my tanks all have solid black or blue backgrounds but I didnt want the Discus to darken up trying to blend in. Now im really glad I did it.
@lazarra101 Ive added plants since this video and like always they turn to mush. Plants don't do well in 85F plus I only have a 48" T5 fixture on it and it being a tall tank its just not enough light. I think ill add C02 and upgrade lighting when I get serious about plants.
Great tank. This is exactly what I want to do!

I recently went to a beach in NC and happen to be in a gift shop and they had gigantic pieces of driftwood they had collected that had washed up on the beach. I got two big peices for $10 each!!! Good luck.

@F8LBITEva oh man, i got to check it out. 10 bucks per piece? thats a dream, i payed 40 for my 2 pieces. I mean their not tiny, but for 40 bucks i would hope i could get a little more. I heard though that getting driftwood from the beach is risky, since they've been absorbing saltwater for long periods of time, leading them to leach them back out into the tankwater. Kinda like neverending tannins but instead of yellow residue its salt XD

thanks for the information, just curious to know if well water will be fine for discus fish and some rocks. At the same time, how often do you clean sand substrate and how..? Do you take the sand out or cleaning them within. also.is it good to have a bare bottom or slight sand bed. sorry for posing too many questions but you can be teacher to this student. Thanks again......

If plants don't do well at 85 how do my amazon swords, anubias, and java fern thrive and all of the plants from the real amazon do it? May be there is a giant air stone in the amazon, get real. Do you think your the only person to keep discus in a tank? Take a look at all of the other videos with discus. If you want something easy to clean try a Hello Kitty tank.

@matcs48a Im going to go ahead and use the 8,000+ hits this video has gotten as an indication of a job well done. Im no beginner, nor am I looking for an "easy" tank to keep, Discus constantly emit slime that coats the inside of the tank and needs to be scrubbed on a regular basis. Therefore I chose to keep it clutter free. I also wanted to showcase the colors of these fish so that is why the tank is "sterile" looking. Feel free to post videos of your tanks so I can see how its done.

@matcs48a its called taking good care of the fish. put an amzon sword in a 75 degree envirement and watch it become an invasive species. Put more oxygen in the water and watch the already hardy colorful fish become stronger and birghter. You obviously dont know shit. monkeys live in the wild. Put it in the zoo and it'll be safe from danger, and happier. i dont know if your stupid, but you should focus on the fish's happiness. not the fking plants. look at how expressed the fish's colors are.

Looks sterile, no live plants...looks like it was set up 5 minutes before the video was shot. I prefer a natural environment. Needs plants and get rid of the bubbles.

@matcs48a So im an amateur because I dont have plants in this tank? Since you are such an expert I dont need to tell you that plants dont do well at 85F and that the air stone is needed for more aeration because of lower oxygen levels at higher temps. You probably already know most discus keepers keep a tank free of substrate or clutter for ease of cleaning and syphoning. I would love to see videos of your tanks....oh thats right you dont have any. Class dismissed.

Awesome tank man. What type of filter you have. Is that 2 HOB filters?
AOmonsta 1 year ago
@AOmonsta When the vid was taken I had two Emperor 400's on there but I have since replaced them with two Aquaclear 500's. They are better filters IMO.

background???
rayhanyou 1 year ago
@rayhanyou Its just a stick on background I got off of ebay. At first I didnt think I would like it because my tanks all have solid black or blue backgrounds but I didnt want the Discus to darken up trying to blend in. Now im really glad I did it.

Thats a sweet lookin piece of driftwood. Are you gonna add any plants?
lazarra101 1 year ago
@lazarra101 Ive added plants since this video and like always they turn to mush. Plants don't do well in 85F plus I only have a 48" T5 fixture on it and it being a tall tank its just not enough light. I think ill add C02 and upgrade lighting when I get serious about plants.
