Astounding 220G Pirate Shipwreck Discus Aquarium

220G aquarium, 8 discus including: 1 turquoise, 1 snakeskin turquoise, 3 pigeon blood and 3 super rose red juveniles (Which look brown right now). 300G wet/dry trickle filter and a 3 piece (Two pieces of which are in the tank), 7 foot long Spanish Galleon Pirate Shipwreck which besides my beautiful discus, is the main attraction of this video. I have a thick bed of gravel which I vacuum weekly on a 125G/50% water change and 60G/25% daily water changes. My fish hobby is a lot of hard work, but I love them. This is my second attempt at raising discus; my first being a complete failure due to the fact that I didn't realize the time and effort associated in keeping this magnificent species. I lost well over 9 discus and about $700 dollars the first time, so I'm taking a new hard working approach, and I believe the hard work is showing! I might seem like a dork to a bunch of you, but this is a passion/hobby of mine. I also RC to the max; but thats a whole other story. My discus live on Chicago tap water with my only water additives being aquarium salt and Prime ammonia killer. I've said enough, hope you enjoy my video and leave tasteful comments; above all............. Don't hate, APPRECIATE!!!!!!!!!

@TheBSideDJ I never understood pussies that look at videos and write hatin'-ass comments. What a fun-packed life you have. Learn how to spell too before you write comments.

@TheFishman77 LOL you write so many hate comments

[TheFishman77]

@blazultimate302 Dude, I'm sorry. I just feel that Youtube is for "cool" videos; not of people leaving comment videos about other videos!!!! People are such losers and have NO LIFE!!!!

[TheFishman77]

I use regular Chicago tap water. I'm not trying to breed anyway. I think they're happy with the water conditions as it is. This tank is too much damn work!!!!!

[TheFishman77]

Thank you. Good luck though, The pirate ship has been discontinued. I'm selling mine for $700. I paid $1200 for it. Take it easy.

wooow great tank! check out my shipwreck, 

[rastan1977]

Is that ship intended for the tank or did you just pop a normal; model in because the discolouration of the ship is pretty true to a sunken ship.Im building a 32cm galleon at the moment and plan to just sit it in a tank and bash out some massive damage holes in the hule for the fish to hide in.
