My fav. discus tank in my charge. 72x49x31 Aprox. 475 gallons.
25 adult discus. Strains include Blue Brilliance, Red Cover, Blue LSS, Pigeon Blood, Blue Cobalt, Sunrise and Red Turquoise.

Also in the tank are 30+ red eyes, 30+ lemons ,12 silver hatchets ,100+ cardinals ,L200 ,albino BS, several Clown Loaches & Panda Corys, and Amano Shrimp.

Jeff just did a real photo shoot of this tank and will post them to our site any day now. My crappy phone pics don't show the screamin color of this tank at all.

The tank it'self was built by Deep Sea Aquatics. The glass is 3/4'' thick.
All of ADG's custom installs now proudly feature DSA aquariums.

I would have expected it to be thicker than that. I was thinking about an inch or so.

That is an incredible tank for discus! Because of the size of the tank it looks like you have juveniles in there, but that pic with your hand next to some of your discus discounts that!

Honestly it may be. I am just a lowly service tech/freshwater livestock mgr. Husbandry is my game. I let the design and install teams worry about glass specs for me.

OH MY GOSH talk about cleanning! love the tank and fish

[DragonScales]

Beside the public aquariums, this is the best discus tank I've sene. Great work!!!

Thx to all. Maintaining this tank is actually a snap. I do a 75% wc/gravel vac once a week and service the two Ehiem 2262s once a month on avg and replace the Purigen as needed. That's pretty much it lol. Besides throwing a magnet on the glass and straightening up the gravel line. I will admit the wc is time consuming. Takes about two hrs.

I added that pic of a member of our install team inside for scale. That was during some minor repairs to the air pump bulkhead shortly after the tank was installed. The tank has been running fully stocked for almost a year now and is virtually algae free.:naughty:

Jeff finally got around to shooting a proper pic of this tank.

It's the first pic in our freshwater gallery @ www.aquariumdesigngroup.com.

Sorry I can direct link it from the flash.

Haven't had a chance to shoot a decent video yet. I'll get around to it eventually I promise :grinno:.
