My 6 weeks old tank..

[XPLOSV]

Not the best quality pics.

The tank is 4ft, 100% of the water, canister,substrat came from my other 6ft been running for very long time.
So putting the 2 discus in at 6weeks is all good since every thing is aged and this is the only way to stop them from breeding as the other 4 pairs still at it. (running out of space for babies)..

thanks guys, it's under a massive rescaping right now.
Will post the new scape soon :D

[Turtlestunts]

setup looks great....love the mixture and fish look great as well

[AHC]

Hey Ken,

Tank is looking very nice. i love it. Shame your rescaping but i bet the next layout is going to be just as better. :wink:

PS. the Ricca and Xmas moss you gave me is settling in nicely. I have the ricca floating at the moment until i decide the best way to use it. The xmas moss is tied onto my driftwood. I will be posting pictures down the track (in my journal) when i have it the way i want it. Still need to get more eco complete and plant dwarf swords.

XPLOSV, great looking tank. Mind if I ask what your setup was regarding lighting, substrate, CO2 etc etc. The plant growth is amazing. Dying to have my tank look like that.
