265gal Update ::: LOAD WARNING

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
very nice set up and aqua scapping.
 
Damn...Aquascape is great Rich nice pix too..
 
Nice plants and driftwood. Its a nice looking setup with the discus.
 
Yea, I agree, great tank. I have a question also if you dont mind. I have kept discus before, but never so many, and I always found they were best alone. Anyways, Im just wondering how often you change the water in that tank and how much you change. I used to do a 40% change every 3 or 4 days with my discus, but they were in smaller tanks so it wasnt such a hassle. Just wondering, I could imagine such frequent changes for a 265 could get onerous.

discus are a schooling fish, and they do great, and are doing great in big numbers.....

as for water changes - only 1 50% a week, at which time my nitrates are about 15-20ppm
 
Nice, that sounds perfect. And yea, I kept them in goups of 6-10, because I never had a large enough tank to go above that, but I didnt mean alone as in a single discus, I meant an only-discus tank. Congrats though, your tank rocks.
