Thanks for your input. It seems like what I am getting is avoid the juvinile stage. My tank is set up and almost ready for the fish. This has helped a lot.

Hi out there. I have been working on setting up a180 gallon planted discus tank. We have read, read and read and we think we are almost ready to start buying our discus. I made contact with a breeder that I felt was a good choice. He came back to me saying that having plants in with a discus...

I have been plagued with algae in my 180 gallon tank untill recently. I think too much fertilizing for the amount of plants. We recently added a UV light and 2 days later algae is gone. Our tank is only 2 months old now. Did you have any new tank issues? How often and how much do you fertilize?

You have the same tank that i am working on. All the plants are in place and I have all the fish other then the discus. Looking forward to thier introduction. Are you doing co2 injection?

Try some roseafolia renikii. ( not sure if I spelled that right). I have some and they are a stunning plant and it seems pretty easy to grow. They grow rather tall and they have some red and a magenta coloring. (stunning plant)

No , the closest window is on the other side of the room.

Hello all you fish fanatics out there. I am planning to do a planted tank with discus as my feature fish. My question is will LEDs generate the right lighting to grow healthy plants. My rank is 30 inches deep. Thank you

What ever way I go I know it's going to cost me. I was hoping to avoid a chiller as well as higher hydro bill. Price you got to pay if you want to play. I have no problem paying for quality. I believe it's better and maybe even cheaper in the long run. Thanks for the input.

I just recently acquired a 220 gallon tank that is 30" deep. I originally wanted LEDs but I have been getting mixed messages from different sources as to if they will do the job or not. You are using (a lot) of LEDs and sounds like with success with corals. Do you have any clams and if not, is...

Looks like the beginning of some quality time. What size tank do you have?

Nice photos of your tanks. You Really have a love for the hobby.

Good price for an R/O unit.

Do you run an osmosis unit?

Thanks for the tip on the lighting fixtures.

I spent $1,000 on the tank and stand. Now I am working on everything else. I think I need to sit down.

What I have read is par is the way to go.

You guess right. It's a little over whemling

I have a 220 gallon tank.

Thanks guys and gals. You already have been a lot of help.

Would 150 watt bulbs be bright enough to reach down to the bottom of a 30" tank?

This lighting thing drives me crazy, may have to go back to the drawing board. Any suggestions for lighting for a coral reef tank 30" deep. Rather not have metal halides.

Curious, specs say 10,000k and 460 nm. Is that not what corals need. Please advise.

Thank you, yes I will let you know how they work. On the marineland LEDs each light is one watt. The model I am choosing has 18 lights and I need six units. (i have a 180 gallon tank) This brings the total to 90 watts.

I will do that, thanks
