Hi Johnnyboy! The owner of this tank got very busy with, life, work and two growing boys and let it slide. It is still running thought it is not as nice as it once was. You will learn allot from the good people on this forum, I learned everything I know about planted tanks from AA. Thanks for...

Hi guys, long time no see! The 125 is still running and I am still scaping, or at least trying to! I tried to reply to the original thread but it got booted out, to old! Thanks to all the great scapers on this site that inspired me, taught me, and got me started. Sorry I am not around but life...

Hi Kristin, you are a very talented girl. Very nice work:)

Thanks for the kind comments. Hey JustinRex, don't be jealous, you can do it to. How well just depends on your standards and how determined you are, just keep at it till you get it the way you want it:)

Thanks for the kind comments and sorry guys, I never did say what that red plant is, must be getting old!! It is Alternanthera Reineckii lilacina(purple). Can be a picky one and has melted on me before. Give it C02, lots of light and trace ferts with a little extra iron and it will love you:D...

LOL Joy, I learned allot about this hobby from you:) Quick update, tank filled in twice since my last visit, this is the latest incarnation, time to pull and replant again! I'm running a solenoid for the first time on this tank, usually I run my C02 24-7. I'm finding I can inject more C02 for...

Hey guys, this tank has been running for around 6 months now, it was planted with plants that survived from my Discus tanks. I was not happy with the growth or condition of the plants in those tanks so I started this one to satisfy my planted tank addiction. Lighting is 2x 150 wt 10000k HQI...

Yes czcz, it is a very tough thing to balance. I'm beginning to think you just can't keep Discus in a high tech, ADA level tank. Average planted tank, yes. ADA level, not for long, a year maybe maybe if are diligent in your up keep and never, I mean never miss a water change. The Discus will...

After looking through this post I am at a loss for words. I have been away a long time. Some scapers I know from a while back have developed some serious skills, and some seriously talented new people have joined AA. elwaine, you are surely one of them. Bravo! Very inspiring. What a cool...

Kristen, you made it even better. Less is more...:)

Not much I can add, it's already there! Nice work:)

Very Beautiful tank, love it. I could never do nanos. I would look at Joys tanks and get inspired, tried a couple and failed miserably. Had a couple of nice ten gallons but that's as small as I had successes with, as far as growth anyway. Nice tank, it ain't as easy as you guys make it look:)

Couldn't have said it any better. What an amazing, beautiful, different set up. I was going to post a few shots of my planted 90, but don't think I will now! It suffers from the initial visual POP syndrome!! Excellent work Czcz, from you I would expect nothing less:)

Very nice indeed! Love them all:)

Thanks guys, it's coming along. I have lots of Crypts and Anubias happening(never grew Anubias before Discus, not crazy about it) as these are some of the plants that will grow well for me in 84 degree temps. They are under high light, 2 x 150 wt Metal Halides and doing very well. They provide...

Hi Ben, you got to get a couple more otto's in there. Sounds like diatom algea to me. It's the otto's favorite food, they will clean it up in no time.

Hey all, I've been working on something for a few months and thought I'd post a couple of shots. Keeping Discus in a high light tank and trying to keep it balanced has been probably the toughest challenge I've faced yet. Both require allot of time and dedication to nurture to their full...

Hey czcz, you have indeed been missed. You are a talented, smart, humble guy. Your encouragement and kind words kept me going many times:):) You probably don't want to hear this, but I think it looks great the way it is. In MHO you've got to let it grow in more to see exactly what you have...

Wow, I second that, awesome indeed:)

Hey there, that must be driving you nuts looking at that beautiful tank just waiting to go.:( You've waited this long, set it up when you have lots of time for a few weeks. It will be critical to get a good start. Keep a close eye on everything till it starts to stabilize. Once things get going...

Kristin, your delicate touch and keen sense have made this one of the most beautiful tanks I've seen. It gives a beautiful calming feeling just looking at the pics. In person I'm sure it's stunning. That is some world class stuff you are creating.:) Hey czcz, she smokes my butt!

Hey all, quick shot of the tank last night, lean and mean! Discus are doing well, got a couple more. Will post later to update, got to go to work:)!

It was a surprise for sure! I've been talking about getting Discus for awhile now, mostly a planted tank guy but am starting to get more into fish. With the amount of maintenance and water changes you do on a high light planted tank I have never had any problems keeping any fish, don't even...

Hey there, this is to cool. I just got three Cobalt Blue Discus for fathers day! They are in my planted 125. It is true some Discus people do 75% water changes everyday, and bare bottom tanks are most common. I am not willing to do that kind of labour, one 50% once a week is enough for me, hope...
