Did you modify a 75 gallon tank with eurobracing or is this a custom tank?

[DiscosBR]

@caall99: Thas is a custom tank

did you replace the stock rosette bulb for another 6000k bulb on the light fixture ?

thanks!

[DiscosBR]

@thealphamale0806: Yes I did. But later I took one of the two 6000k T5 4W bulbs. One bulb is more than enough, especially for discus, who do not like a lot of lighting.

Are the air pumps quiet? 

[DiscosBR]

@0iToucHelper0: I found the fushion 700 to be very quiet, but I don´t experience with other pumps to compare.

Where did you buy the background?

I love your set up and I went through all your posts on SD forum, learned a lot :))

Where did you get stainless tubes for heater, I have the same 150W, and that manzanita is sooo sweet, where did you get that one.
