My 75gal wild discus tank

[Bruno]

New pictures of the fish! stil playing with the settings on the camera!
TODAY










(when i first got them)



Just wanted to post these...

the tank was set up in october as a planted tank...

Fish have been doing great, altho something i though to be flukes... was nitrites problems...

it's the plants who have been harder to keep!!

tank is :

48x18x18
200Watts lighting
Eheim 2213
2 powerheads
heater
DIY CO2 injected inside the eheim


Fish: 4 discus, not sure of the origin... i actualy knew it... baught them directly from an importer who i used to work with... i might have some better pics if any of u guys want to have a go at guessing their origin (now dont say the amazon )
-12 blue tetra (snack... to replace my 8 emperors that they ate within a month... i just baught these )
-8 otocinclus, also baught today...
-3 ancistrus ranunculus
-2 nerita snail
-1 female apistogramma cacatoides (male disapeared... i suspect the discus)

lots of plants...



Thanks for all the help!

You've done a great job with the wilds Bruno. They look like wild browns, but the one with more red in the dorsal could be an alenquer red. So difficult to tell in photos.

Tank looks great, and the plants have grown well. What pH are you running at?

They look beautiful mate. Where abouts are you located? (So I can come around and pinch your fish in the night)

What are you using as sustrate? Pool Filter Sand?

very nice looking tank and stunning fish

[Bruno]

Thank you very much for the kind words

Ph is 6.8, i want to get a RO unit set up, but i have no room where to put it... so for now its peat and CO2...

from the tap it is
degre kh = 3.36
degre gh = 6.72
ph = 7.6

after 24hours with peat:
degre kh = 5.6
degre gh = 2.8
ph = 7.0

The CO2 lowers it from 7 to 6.8, altho i havent tested the tank during the night yet to calculate the fluctuations...

The sand is pool filter sand, i add some fert sticks in it for the root feeders... i get a reasonnable growth... they just took off after 2 months! works good so far...

I am from Montreal, Canada, so i think they are safe from you

Thanks again!
