This is an incredible set up. I love natural tanks and this is an example of why. I love the moonlights. I couldn't do that in my room cuz I'd never be able to sleep lol.

Thanks! But yeah I wouldn't be able to sleep either, which is why the tank is in the living room!

ALRIGHT!!!

I think the plants have grown enough that I can now show some pics :) As I mentioned earlier, I pulled out most of the plants, leaving only hygrophila polysperma as the background plant and blyxa japonica as the foreground. The tank looked cool before, but it was not meant to be a long term setup. I think this current layout will work best in the long run. It will be easy to keep the plants pruned and nothing should get so thick that it obstructs the light and co2 for any other plants.

I also trimmed the blyxa along the front edge of the glass, which I think looks pretty cool! On to the pics!

HA! That's the same exact setup I ran for valentine's earlier this year :naughty:

Man, I would love me some discus but I think my tank is way too small for them. The plants don't leave much swimming room. I was thinking about some angels maybe. Any suggestions for my tank size?

What's the width of the tank with the plants? they keep Discus in smaller confinements for Breeders..

Dude, classic Altum or Discus bro in that tank would be bomb!... Keeping two Discus in their would be fine. I'd try to get a hold of a male/female pair. I suggested the Albino Royal Blue because of the contrast in the green background to the yellow.. Just imagine a couple swimming in your tank..peaceful, elegant and just plain out beautiful.

Getting hold of some Altums would be awesome as well... Have you ever seen an Altum that's about the size of a CD.... It's a jaw dropping sight.

here's a picture of my biggest next to my Discus.. as mentioned my Discus are about the size of a CD.

Yeah those altums are beautiful! The tank is 18" wide. The plants along the back wall take up a 7-8" though. Damn, the size of a CD???!?!?! There's no way that would fit in my tank.

But now you got me thinking :popcorn:
