Well, I'm going to attempt to spawn them for a research project/my undergrad thesis! I suppose that's "dabbling".

University of Maine Orono... go blackbears? lol

I dont always research Discus but when I do I manage to lose 30 of them despite doing everything aparently correct

When I had more discus in my 180DT I had 2 pair that spawned all the time.
I separated them to breeding tanks where they laid eggs and ate them 95% of the time for over 6 months or so!
The other 5% they ate the fry!
I bought them their own 120g so they could do this too me!
I had a journal(still exist on other site) so I'm in to see you win or lose!
I saw your stock in another thread and those are discus worth breeding!
I probably should have been more persistent as now my GBR torture me in my breeding efforts!
Ever speak with discuspaul?

You got a reef light!
Looks like 3@250MH ,leds next to them and actinics?
You doing a reef tank?
Going to start a GBR breeding thread and want to hear and see from you there!

He was using it as a light over his frag table, 12' x 6'. That makes total sense. Is this even usable for freshwater?

I figured 60$ and all is in great working condition w/ ceiling hanging kit wasnt bad at all. It also has 4 ballasts that weigh a ton.

I haven't dabbled in discus since I kept axelrodi browns. One day soon I will keep wild discus again.

Wow.... wild!!!! Wheeew..... i had a wild pair. Only wilds i ever owned. They were caught while guarding fungused eggs. They were sooo cool, but much less tollersble than captive bred.

Gillie if your good with wilds, then your the man. They are tough.

at best with a well balanced ,ferted,co2 enriched system that light should not be run more then 2 hours as "mid day" scorching effect!
You'll be very happy if you sell it to some one who knows what it is worth and hasn't switched to LEDs with a 300g reef($$$).

 

[PoppaRyno]

Is it not worth the 60$ i paid.
