Mikel Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Greetings from Upper Hutt! Looking at some of the posts it appears that I have more fishy neighbours in this area than I thought. :lol: Having moved into a new house I acquired a JEBP 200 litre corner tank to replace my old one and very nice it is too. Just getting throught the cycling process now. I have had real problems with green algae :evil: but removing phosphates and higher percentage UV lights appear to be doing the job at last. . Not quite sure what I'll do with the old tank but the garage is large and there's no reason a guy can't have 2/3/4/? tanks is there??? I have had a community tank for many years but have decided to take the plunge and establish a discus tank this time. I had a few discus years ago and loved them but then started moving around too much to be able to give them the care they needed. I'll be ready to stock the tank in 2-4 weeks so any local breeders out there getting ready to sell some stock please let me know. I'd also be keen to meet up with any Upper Hutt/Wellington discus people and view your set up ie. sponge your good ideas. Thanks already for the tips and ideas on the site. I look forward to being able to contribute where I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
