5ft Planted Discus Tank Journal
Hi,
this is my new project its going to be a 520ltr planted discus tank with pres co2 with ph controller.
Specs: 520ltr
Lights: 2 fluros with only 1.2wpg of light
Flitration: 2 x 1200ltr cannister filter
Milkwaukmee regualtor, solenoid, ph controller,
Plants: Anubius, java fern, crypts, val, swords etc.
2 x pieces of driftwood
This tank is currently going through a fishless cycle into its 4th day. Its going to be home to discus and tetras. Thinking of having blue diamonds, turqs, and pidgeon bloods. Im gonig to fill the tank with plants and then add the fish last. I will post pics as i go on. The plants in the pics i just added for the bacteria to live on. Whats ya thoughts

golden albinos are stunning and will make an amazing contrast. Againts your green fauna.
RGD - Red Gold Diamonds - A red discus which wont pepper up.
Blue diamonds,, yeah they are nice but when upset or get into there hide mood they will go dark and dark blue / black in colour. Again its your preference it can look good too.
merely suggestions I look forward to seeing whichever way you go
