Well I don't exactly know yet TG. Because of all the algae probs in my 125g, I've yet to move in a single discus

. In fact the tank is in total blackout mode (covered with a comforter)

to get to the level of growth that's in that picture, it's going to take about a year...

I can't speak for the anubias, but the Java Fern may do that in 6 months or so.

Brian, one day I will get past the notion that Discus are " outta my league"...

Fishing line is what I've used. It works very well, and is virtually invisible.

will the anubias and JF root into the wood like java moss will?

Exactly the same, just takes time.

...excellent...

i can't wait to get started. it should begin in a month or two because i have to help my brother hang and finish some drywall at his new house. once that's done, we'll start right away on my tank.

corvus discus aren't out of anyones league. It's a matterr of want and devotion

Mr Burns · 02-11-2004, 10:09 PM

want, devotion, and federal reserve notes...

Wow, funny to see that tank so long ago. All that Anubias Grew into a huge lump of leaves, completely to the surface. We have since reaquascaped the aquarium. It isn't ready for photos yet, but lets just say...

Val + Altum Angels = PHAT!
