Hello MFK!

Longtime member here. I recently acquired a 200g aquarium from a local aquarium enthusiast from believe it or not... CRAIGSLIST, of all places. The retiring gentleman was moving with his wife to Florida, and I was able to get a great setup for cheap. In addition to the 200g tank itself, my seller also threw in assorted filtration equipment (Fluval, etc), lighting (Finnex), various plants, driftwood, and even a nice substrate.

After having my new setup cycle for 2 weeks, I decided it was finally time to build the dream setup I had envisioned as a young child-- I knew I wanted discus fish and possibly angels in the future. I did a ton of research online, and in the end I decided to purchase my discus from discus.com. They have a great selection of discus fish for sale, and their free shipping offer sealed the deal for me. I decided to go with large specimens, because I wanted fish with fully developed patterns. The fish arrived well-packed, and began eating within a day.

If anyone has good beefheart recipes they would like to share with me, please send me a private message, thanks!

Enjoy my pics. Feel free to comment on the color scheme I have chosen. I need more ideas for my next purchase!

I don't keep either angels or discus but this is top notch, jaw-drop stuff! Great job would be an understatement of the year.

Nice set up, and beautiful photos. Would pass on the beef heart, but that’s just me. So many better alternatives out there, including home made seafood mixes. Congrats on your dream tank!
