TGWH's Planted Discus/Community Tank


The Great White Hand

Recommended Posts

Hi

I have an Aqua One AR980. It is extensively planted (variety of swords, crypts, cambomba, anubias, java ferns on driftwood, java moss, dwarf saggitaria, pigmy chain sword, saurarus, straight and twisted vals, glassos, and some others) on JBL,s aquabase and populated with: 1 San Merah Discus (5-6cm), 1 checkerboard Discus (6-7cm), 1 golden Sunrise Discus (8-9cm), 1 Red Turq discus(3-4cm) Blue Ram pair, 1 Dwarf Gourami, 6 Corys, 1 Brstlenose, 8 Otto's, 2 SAEs, 16 neons and 18 harlequins.

I use floursih excel, iron and fertiliser, and cycle regularly. I use carban, purigen and phosguard as a bit of a precaution as I probably overfeed, particularly the discus as they seem hungry all the time (tatra colourbits, premium flake, Fd daphinia, bloodworms. and frozen blodworms and discus mix from Redwood Aquatics) Water runs at 27.5 - 28.2c, water parameters good. Water changes 2-3 @ 30% per week.

I am currently running the AR980 filter (2000ltr/p/hr), and an Aqua One CF1200 canister. I have got some new lighting, based on what I've read from this site (Arcadia, 2 x 30, 1 x 25, 2 natural 8000k, CRI 1A, and moonlight)

Regards, TGWH
