Default Johnny Reefer's Discus Tank
Well after nine new plants, the Discus Tank is lookin' pretty good right now.
Pics of this tank have been put off long enough.

Just a few stats:
1-Marlboro Red
1-Tangerine
1-Pigeon Blood
1-Yellow Crystal
5-Denisoni Barbs
5-Rummy Nose Tetras
5-Buenos Aries Tetras
1-Clown Loach
1-Gold Nugget Pleco

Water tests today rendered the following readings:
Temp. 89.5F
pH 7.2
NO3 5.0mg/l
dGH 2.24
KH 3





Plants are mostly Echinodorus sp., a few Hygrophila corymbosa
and one Ludwigia repens.

Cheers,

I have to say I was over at Johnny Reefer's place the other night and the pictures don't do it justice, even with the plants just floating in the water my first reaction was "WOW" that goes for his other tank also.

Thanx very much for all the kind words and positive feedback, everyone. It makes it more rewarding and worthwhile.

The tank is a 90g. 48"L x 24"H x 18"W.

The Discus are about 4" to 4 1/2".

Cheers,

Nice tank Mark. What are you running for equipment (a friend of mine just asked me) What filters and filter media do you use?
