Adding substrate will increase both nitrate and phosphate levels. BB will keep the parameters in better standings.

Exactly what I was about to say. Substrate does not aid in denitrification (not in fw anyway).

Barebottom is DEFINATELY the way to go with that many discus in order to keep on top of water quality.

Nice setup BTW :D
 
I would also leave it as bare bottom. Planted tanks and discus are not the best mix due to the different water each needs. I have seen some amayzing looking tanks though with live plants.

Great looking tank though, and you do seem to have a lot of discus in it. How many total and how big is the tank??

Looks good, but not natural.
Yeah, I'm getting rid of those fake root s & have some really nice, wood to put in there. I also have some blue rams & a nice big school of cardinals in there now.
 
I do think there is alot of discus in there,and as for the other tank not looking natural ,bare glass is definitely not looking natural, i do agree that if you have substrate you need corys etc to help with the cleaning but please get some sand in there,

i know mine wont be to everyones taste but the discus have been living in it for years and are very happy and i think it looks great heres a pic or 5


cheers steve

I think you have a nice tank and discus,euro, but i always think it looks unfinished without substrate in.
