Here I go again!! 180gal Discus tank.

[86 ssinit]

It was $75. That’s it. Even came with an ehime pump that works . Make a nice back up!
That 180g sold. Regretting a bit but it is what it is.
Got a new pair from Chicago Discus they laid eggs last nightso maybe lol give this a shot and see if I can bred them . May need another tank .

Get some nice fry from that spawn and I will buy some from you. If they look anything like the parents that would be awesome.
I can't wait to get the 120 so I can fill it with Discus.

Great visiting with you the Bosmani Rainbows are happy in their new home and the wet/dry was a great deal thanks for your help. I really enjoyed seeing your tanks in person.

Just can't help it, I hear you. Just got the email that my tank is shipping so in 24 to 48 hours I should get the tracking. Nice small tanks and acrylic to boot. The rainbows are coloring more each day nice looking fish. Where did you put the Golds?
I am probably going to build the stand 24" so I can route the pipes through the top back of the stand. What do you think, or should I do the 18"?

 

[86 ssinit]

Lol yes I said make it 24”. That was in case you in the future get a 180g. But when you think about it. It’s not like you’re going to get rid of the 125 you’d just add a 180 . So you’d need a new stand anyway. Another thing I didn’t do was use pipe. I stuck with the hoses. If you go with pipes you will need unions to move stuff. Hose are very flexible. Just something to think about.

I am so envious of your tanks, absolutely beautiful. Out of curiosity how much time a week do you spend on them

 

[86 ssinit]

Minimum of 6 hrs. 8hrs now with the 3 qt tanks. 2 with discus and one with a pair of black Rams I got from Carlos.these guys are so black and move so quick it hard for the camera to focus and shoot. Will try and get better pics! They are stunning!

 

[samual]

Truly beautiful tanks, thanks for sharing

So I told them we’re doing a slow motion video! But some fish just never listen ! And the plants were selling it!!

Here’s some pics of the discus in here.

I can’t afford a full discus tank, but I want to have them someday. The tanks are the main issue. They are so big.

 

[86 ssinit]

Well the fish are big too! They are cichlids and they do grow large . I’ve said they can be kept in a 55. But for best results I think a 125 is your best tank.

 

[Charlyc]

Or like 86 ssinit several large tanks.
