Found someone local who has to travel for business for an undetermined amount of time and has to get rid of her discus setup. Comes with everything...
125 gallon with nice oak stand and canopy, lights, 2 aquaclear 110s, 3 nice pieces of drift wood, some plants, substrate, 15 adult discus, 3 juvenile, some cories, and a couple cardinal tetras. Started at $1000 for all of it, which is a great deal, but I am paying $500 for it all.
I realize the tank is over stocked currently, especially with its current filtration. Luckily theres 2 or 3 pairs that consistently lay eggs, so I plan on splitting those pairs off and hopefully getting some offspring from them.
The other interesting thing is that she is using straight well water for these fish. Unfortunately, I have city water, so I will be doing a RO/tap water mix. Unless her TDS and PH reading are very similar to mine.
I will be getting the setup Wednesday night and they will be going in my newly completed fish room http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?596798-asteele-19-s-fishroom-build
What is going to be the best way to transfer these guys? Currently planning on using a couple plastic totes with heaters and an air stone and am debating about using ship safe for transportation. Not sure if anyone has a better way of doing it. The other question I had was acclimation...is a slow, drip acclimation the best way to do it?
Anyways, super stoked. Wasn't planning on getting into discus until next year sometime, but this was too good of a deal to pass up. Here is some pictures of the discus and setup.
