58inchX18X32 discus tank fits right in the space I wanted so I can watch them for bed and leaves a very small gap from between my TV and the tank, was a pain when I was keeping my RD in there as she always splashed water out but discus are fine!




and a video to see it up and running to make up for the blank picture

Love this discus tank! Are those live plants? If they are what kind of lights are you using? If not where did you get those fake plants, they look awesome!

hahah live plants just a simple 2x 54W T5HO gets the job done fine, I have swords and vines growing under a single 32W t8 18 inch from lid and the vines are about 1.3 m long and swords roots are a good 20 cm lol dont even dose that tank :S

That’s amazing! Do you fertilize or use Co2? Usually deeper tanks have a hard time growing plants because the light can’t reach the bottom effectively. This gives me some hope! Thanks for posting.

none just add the light change the water every 3rd day apart for this week and sometimes I add some flourish tabs to the sand, I am not at the stage where I want to grow plants, So I just buy a light that will work for them and if they live they live if they die I go buy new ones lol planning a c02 planted dutch style tank for the future all depends on the plants you want in my experience
