great to have found this site and appreciate the knowledge ppl bring and share. I've been keeping mainly cichlids for 6 years in 3 and 4 foot tanks, 4 years ago i put my 7x2x2 tank together, bought the glass and gave it a shot after plenty of research and repairing other tanks. Made a above tank trickle filter for it and all is going well i'll post a pic or try to.
i caught the discus bug about 2 years ago and bought a few, the colour strains available got me i think or maybe their charisma-fantastic fish.
18 months ago i had some breeders yet sold them as i was working a lot and couldn't maintain things. Greatly intrigued by spawning behaviour. Now i work from home and am starting to build tanks for a living, just put together some steel racks to hold 6 footer breeder tanks with grow outs underneath. I don't own any discus at the moment though i will have a six footer for males and a six footer for females up and cycling in about six weeks. looking forward to producing quality australian bred discus for sale.

Sounds great. Would love to see the pics of the above tank trickle filter.

Awesome stuff, we need more breeders in SA. Hoping to get up and running myself soon. Although not on the same scale as your plans.
