    Changed my 9 by 2.5 by 2.5 tank

    Hi evenryone,

    My discus tank has now been running since october last year and you can see the set up on the fourm. But I decided to add White play sand from bunnings, add some more plants and different discus too plus tetras, plecos, butterflies etc.

    So here are some pics .

    I hope you like them

    Simply stunning, this is a favourite tank of mine.

    Is this the 'white play sand from Bunnings'?

    Hi Livingfish78,
    all looking great as always mate! Maybe you can share a bit of the tanks care regime as the plants look very healthy. Co2 or not? Ferts added etc?
    Cheers

    Hi guys

    Thanks for all your comments but I must say I'm no expert with plants and learning everyday. I trim back anything that is dying once a week to give off new growth.

    I have dropped the tank temp to 29,
    I use a ph controller which reduces the ph with also the injection of co2 with a tunze diffuser. I keep my ph at 6.0.

    I use flourish once a week and and leave zone.

    I still have some plants that grow really well and some I can't do anything right.

    But I do have automatic top up , which is adding ro water every day ,which i add discus trace and geo liquid to the water, so additional minerals which help the plants .

    If anyone has any great advice to keep my plants growing , please let me know
