Speaking of Hans, he just got in some of the cleanest wilds I've seen in a long time. No prices yet, he is apparently out of town, but if I hear of anything, I'll let everyone know. You can see the pics on his sponsor forum at Simply.

I saw those on Simply as well. They are gorgeous!

It is possible to create a true bio-type discus tank without the fuss and muss of "going green". You can take a tank, add a 3-D background, mix sand with clear expoy resin, and pour it like concrete in the bottom of the tank. Then add a lot of Manzanita branches hanging down into the tank, attached to a strip of plexiglass with screws on the top of the tank. Add foam sheets behind the background from the bottom of the tank to the top. Use the top of the background as a "skimmer", and let the water spill over the top, and be sucked thru the foam by one or more pumps, and pumped back into the display side. This is the filter. Add a heater in the space behind the foam, and you have a great looking, natural discus display. The result is a bare bottom tank that dosen't look like one. I'm working one setting up such a display at a new local pet store here. If the manager gives me the OK, it should be fun.

Take pics of the tank when you get it done, I would love to see it.
 
hey snoops! so nice your discus are!!

just wondering with all the vac with so much gravel. do you stir it up or just go chunk plunk by plunk in sections? I have the bare minimum in my 20gal angel tank with AC70 & the pleco poop is so dense it gathers a lot in my barely graveled tank. & when I stir up the little gravel I have it stirs up quite a stir.

so with your set up I am kind of surprise yours may not have as much sentiment/doopy poopy?

I found my battery charger so very soon like manana will post what I can!
 
Wow, you have some beauts!

I read that you feed 6 times a day?! Is that necessary for good growth? I'd like to get some discus, and can handle the water changes, but I wouldn't be able to feed that much. Thoughts on feeding? Thanks!
