Looks awesome!!! I'm still trying to convince the wife to convert the 75g to a discus tank.

 

[Cardinal3420]

Thank you everyone! Im still trying to get my girlfriend to let me have the 210 gallon I have been eyeing haha! Would make a great Discus tank. Soon enough I'm looking to start back up a reef tank. Had to see my 72g bow front when I moved.

 

[Cardinal3420]

I mean had to sell it.

It looks beautiful! With the plants and all. What kind of lighting do you have there?

 

[Cardinal3420]

I have 2x24 watt T5HO with LEDs as well right now. They seem to be doing the trick. got lots of new growth and runners on my swords.

 

[Cardinal3420]

Tank is now almost 5 months old and looking great! Discus are doing wonderfully and eating like pigs lol. Plants have grown a lot with t5s and co2. I'll take some new pictures too.

 

[Cardinal3420]

Lots of work but well worth it as you can see! Hope you all enjoy!

Beautiful Aquarium. Where the discus expensive. Are they hard to take care of?

 

[Cardinal3420]

Discus can be tricky, and yes they are pretty expensive. The wild blue was $60.00 and the marlboro was $110.00 but he's about 4.5 inches. Both are great fish and have great personalities. They eat right out of my hand.

 

[GuppyLover]

I am in love with the marlboro, He is absolutely gorgeous. One day I'll have a Discus tank when I can actually afford the fish lol.

 

[Cardinal3420]

They are a lot of fun that's for sure!!

 

[bruinsbro1997]

Very pretty fish!

I am in love with discus, my fishkeeping life will be complete when
a) i get the saltwater tank i always wanted, and
b) have a discus tank

I love your tank! Your plants are spectacular and the discus are stunning!

 

[Cardinal3420]

Well thank you! I am very lucky I must say, I have 2 amazing tanks right now. It's been a lot if work time money and patience but they are all worth it in the end. If you search BFL3420 on YouTube you will find videos of my tanks and 1 old tank. Subscribe and post feedback! Thank you all!!

 

[absolutangel04]

That is an amazing tank! It looks pristine! I really like the blue striped guy. I would love a discus tank someday!

 

[Cardinal3420]

Thank you he's a great fish!

 

[Cardinal3420]

My discus tank is now 6 months old and going strong! My only loss has been 1 Corey cat. All the neons and cardinal tetras are looking great and the discus are looking amazing!
