Hi everyone,
I've been reading on this forum for a while now and have decided to commit (oh god, that word all men hate) to a post.
I am currently in the process of researching Discus as I have been a fan for a long time and have learned from mistakes with other species that good research saves a lot of money.
I plan to purchase/build a 6'x2'x2' heavily planted Discus aquarium as a centerpiece for a new house that my fiancé and I are planning to buy. After much reading, I am considering and overflow/sump filter system as I like the idea of having all the filtration/intakes/outputs/heaters etc. hidden is very appealing. I plan to have the back corners of the tank to be blocked off at 45 degrees to allow the plumbing for the overflow (intake)/return to be hidden.
I have a few questions in relation to this, and although unsure of whether they are appropriate for this section of the forum, have included below in order to avoid starting a new thread.
I live in Perth, namely the far northern suburbs, and was wondering if anyone knew of a good Discus breeder in the area? A lot of the LFS have Discus regularly, although quite often they look unwell etc.
Furthermore, in addition to breeders, would anyone be aware of a good supplier to purchase a slightly customised glass aquarium, and an appropriate metal stand?
Thanks,
Chris
