Set this tank up in 2010 when my VA doctor gave it to me. Everything in it was in from my first 55g discus aquarium I set up in Wisconsin in 2004. When I joined the army in 2006 my wife took care of the 55 while I was in basic, when we were stationed at Ft. Lewis, Washington, my mother took on the responsibility. Needless to say she wasn't going to carry buckets of RO water up two floors and I lost my discus.
When I was medically discharged at the end of 2008 the 55 was still running. Kaylyn and I moved to Ohio and I picked up a 60g cube before we left Wisconsin. I brought all the media and plants in buckets along with the rocks and wood. On the way down I stopped at Aquatics Unlimited for discus.
Two years later my VA doc called and asked if I wanted his oceanic 92g. I jumped on it, took the drive up to Wisconsin and brought it back home.
It reached it's hiatus in 2013. I had 17 discus the oldest from aquatics before the move. Then the decline last year when I started my auto body shop. I lost my last discus 8 months ago. It was heart breaking watching them wither away.
Now I'm finally getting the tank back to what it used to be, with freed up funds. I will have to update as I get more discus. For now I have two new discus, the plant coming back to life and equipment repaired. Canister, lights, co2.
Definitely have updates to come.
