Hey Jothy,

Funny thing is, we do the least amount of work on this tank.....

Come for a drive over and take a look in person. So much more impressive to have the discus follow you up and down the tank..

Kind regards,
George

I must say this tank is amazig in real life, George has done an excellent job with the lighting, CF's and T5's are almost old standard now but the spectrum of bulbs used really makes the plants and fish POP! the camera doesn't catch the true irridesence of the cardinals, the reds are a deep crimson and the blue is electric, really well done mate, well worth the trip just to see it.

BTW new store looks great still plenty of work to do but i guess your up to it, love that new discus system!
