[philvave]

@TropicalFish121

Yes you can keep one couple of discus in 100l tank. But don't forget to use o good filter, and change 1/3 of the water every week. Good luck.

[spearo92]

this tank is amazing, i painted my stand yesterday and im putting my tank in today. its a 55 gallon tank ive got the rocks and drift wood for it but yours looks so cool like its a growing root system, howd you do that? it looks so realistic, ill probably get the plants saturday cause i have to go get mice for my snake anyway. im just putting pike and bass and bream in there cause im moving out next year so i can just let them go when i move and set up again in my apartment with something cooler

[philvave]

I placed the rootsystem first and attached it with PUR that was also used for the rocky backpanels. All PUR was cut into wanted formations and then covered with 2 layers of coloured resin. Wilst resin was still wet, same sand as bottumsand was brougth in/on the wet resin. Use of course resin that is OK for fish! Good luck.

[spearo92]

thanks but what is PUR? my tank is now set up but the drift wood dyed the water brown so i have to take some water out a 10-29 gallons a night and refill which sucks...i caught a lot of small mullet in a cast net and put some in the tank, they swim all over in a school which is pretty cool looking

[philvave]

PUR = poly urethane

[spearo92]

oh, thanks

[philvave]

Tank is 600 liter, and stand in a corner of the living room.

It is 140 cm long, 60 cm high, and 50 cm wide at the leftside and 90 cm wide at the right side.

[CaDiLaCxPiMp]

Is this tank still running? That tank is almost inspirational...

[philvave]

Yes it still is.

In May it will be running for 1 year.

Thanks for your comment!

[VANLIDEN86]

Great tank dude:)

What water parameters do u have and how do u keep them constant?

[philvave]

Temp = 29°C

GH= 10

KH= 3

pH= 7

Biweekly adding 1/3 new tap water (200l)

Constant filtering through sump

[VANLIDEN86]

got ro? cuz im wondering about ur carbonate hardness

[philvave]

What is ro?

[VANLIDEN86]

reverse osmosis filter;p

[philvave]

oh,

no I don't have one

tapwater is perfect quality

[shyshylongnose]

best tank!! my god, superb. what light are u using? ur discus looks great in it, really need to know.

[philvave]

Lights are Tropic solar and Color Solar from JBL.

[philvave]

Thanks.

[Deborahgd14]

Nice fish. I also have discus fish and love them. Your tank looks great!!

[philvave]

Oops, sorry.

No, I don't use one. I'm filtering in a sump of 200 l, with 4 compartments; and then over a trickle filter. Every 2 weeks 1/3 water from the tank is being refreshed with fresh tap water.

[122queen]

i was just asking if you had to have one to run a discus tank thats it?

[philvave]

Thanks NintendoGenForumsGX,

Tank is 600 liters (140x50/90x60 cm), sump another 200 l.

4 adult discus + 7 young (3 months)

Community fishes are: Hyphessobrycon erythrostigma (15); H. pulchripinnis (25); Apistogramma ramirezi (6); A. cacatooides (6); Corydoras aenaeus (20); C. paleatus (10); Ottocinclus vittatus (7)

[NintendoGenForumsGX]

Thats nice, because each Discus need at least 10 Gallons to gain its potentials, it would be easier if you click the reply button so it would notify me =]

[philvave]

Ok,tnx, i'm still learning to use youtube...

[NintendoGenForumsGX]

5* very nice, how big is your fish tank by Gallons or liters. how many Discus fish do you have oh and can you name me your community fishes too.

[monazam]

WOW! Unbelievable! Beautiful Tank. Those are the best blue discuses I have ever seen!

[philvave]

Thanks monazam.

Meanwhile I made it even better by adding some small sphere stones. And I still have to add Amazone plants.
