My 125g planted discus tank

[Saverio]

My 6ft planted discus tank.

(2) fluval FX5's for filtration
Pressurized CO2
Daily fert dosing (EI method, dry ferts)
T5HO lighting (2x96w fixture)

I will be upgrading soon, to an 8x2x2 240g with 100g sump. So this setup will be going away and I'll be transferring all my plants and livestock to the new tank. Just waiting for the builder to finish making it!

Beautiful discus! I absolutely love discus, they are so peaceful looking. I am hoping to have a discus tank at some point. Right now we move way to much to have large tanks set up.

That is an amazing tank

That's probably the best discus tank I ever seen. I'll even say it beats the public one at the Georgia aquarium

Thanks so much for the nice comments.

I admit, I will miss this setup, but am really looking forward to the 240g when it gets in. That should be in another week or two at most. My buddies are looking forward to getting into their new home!

As requested, a few more pics:

I ordered 125 cardinals, but that was about a year or so ago. Have had a few losses here and there (none to a discus that I'm aware of), so there's probably still about 100 or so. =)

What substrate or substrates are you using? I'm setting up my new 125 this weekend and I will also be running pressurized co2 with plants I have in my 75.

In the 125 I used the substrate that Aquariumplants.com sells. It seemed to do okay. No real complaints other than that it was kinda light, and tough to keep new plants rooted.

The 240g upgrade that I'm having built, I'm going to use Eco-complete. I already have it all on hand, ready to go.
