Discus new home

Some time ago I posted pictures of the stand I built for my 29 gallon tank that I was going to use for my breeding pair of discus. Well last night they finally got the move to there new tank.
Now I have to do a major cleaning on my 40 gallon tank and get it looking good again with live plants.
So here's a shot of the stand I made for the tank.

Here is a picture of tank.

holy sh... Wish i could build things as nice as that. Very good job!! Nice stand,tank, fish, everything!!!

Very nice! Great job on the stand!

Thanks for the comments.

Grat job on the stand.
I was wondering why there was no gravel or sand bottom in your tank?

I had my discus in my planted tank with gravel for over 8 months.
I highly recommend not to use gravel with discus, or you might end up like me setting up a bare bottom tank for them. Discus are very messy fish. I gravel vac my tank twice a week and could not keep up. The plants started to look bad.
I like planted tanks so I sold 3 of my discus just keeping my breeding pair and placed them into a 29 bare bottom tank. This way it will be a lot easier to clean.
The discus must like there new home, they were in there 2 and a half days and have laid eggs last night.
I have done a mojor rework on the old tank last night which will now be a planted community tank.

I like the bare bottom. That way you can pay more attention to the fish! They're amazing!! Rare to see such colors in FW fish

Well the discus must like there new tank. It only took them 2 days to lay eggs.
