Just a quick note to say my babies are doing quite well still. After the first of the year the construction in the house to move our living room to the other end of the house will begin and I will be moving them from the tank they are now in a (110 gal) to a 125 gal with white substrate and light blue background. Some of the plants will be moved with them, but I think I am removing the swords as they take up too much swimming space. I also think I will be doing something different with the wood - more of it, but I am going to try and invert it so it appears to be roots hanging. We will see how it goes.
I also have VHO lighting on the tank, but am unsure if I should use all 4 bulbs. Each bulb is a 36" 95W 6500K T8 VHO. So what do you think, use all 4 or just 2? If I use 2 they will light the back half of the tank or the front half of the tank. I am thinking that if I use all 4, I will end up with an algae problem because I do not use CO2. The lights came with the tank and up until now I have only used half at a time.
Stay tuned tomorrow for updated pics of the discus.
