I personally think the discus would be fine. Tank bred discus are in my opinion as hardy as any other fish we keep. I've never had a roblem with feeding or growth etc and had them spawn in my local tap water..   Intersting that you post about the sump though as I'm considering breaking my reef...

feeding them is the hardest part. They like to eat things that wriggle often meaning live food but ideally you want them on frozen. Lots of peacock eels fade away and struggle in our tanks because they just don't eat. Also you need to make sure they are eating when foods going in yu can usually...

Love my catfish so 5 for me

Hi Rob No I wouldn't want to do high tech planted I fancy something less maintenance than my reef , we shall see if I make the leap.   Ive sold a few corals but there are a few that I'm clinging onto which may mean no change

decent sounding stocklist   Ive got a pair of bangaiis got a male with a mouth full of babies and one baby in my sump from their first spawn in January

cheers for the reponses.   I'm happy with stocking but you;ve helped with sump I wasnt sure what I could do with it

The TMC are decent lights Harry had mine for 18 months ish noow and get great growth on my LPS from them. You should be able to get decent sized torch frogspawn etc frags for your tank and if they grow too big then a good excuse for an upgrade!! :)

Your set up looks like it will be amazing. Great sized tank and a sump room!!!!   What are your stocking plans for the tank?

I'm seriously considering breaking my reef tank down and converting it to a discus set up. I was lying awake in bed last night planning it ( sad I know).. but one thing I have wondered is what would I do with my sump? Would I need an external filter if I had my sump utilised somehow like an...

one thing with snakes is they often dont eat for substantial amounts of time however my experience is with larger snakes where I didnt worry so much, you need to get an accurate ID of the snake and cater for its specialized needs. Try RFUK  a good reptile site for the ID

Thanks Jay the new tanks going ok much better with more space . marines definately worth a go i wont go back now

my fire eeel 22 inches or so will be available in the new year unforunately and im near Liverpool

i did it with that size tank and within a few weeks bought a marine style nano tank 94 litre river reef. much easier to use maintain and set up for marine. if you do use that tank get some royal blue tile paint and pain the back and sides with the white marine sand will instantly transform the...

Hi Chris No I swapped the river reef for a jewel vision 180 which is much better. the extra space doesnt half make a difference to stocking options but the river reef 94 was a brilliant little tank and i loved the height for scaping

cheers Mbou and Dr Rob for the appraisal and cheers Raptorrex for the answer to my queries :)

Ive not logged in for 4 weeks or so and came back on yesterday or so and the forum seems to have changed a fair bit with no info. Lots of new mods so congrats to each and everyone of those, Im no longer a mod which pleases me as Id asked to be removed from that a while back have i missed...

well after a period of no real maintenance i cleared a load of xenia out it looks well better now got a rock with 7 Riccordea Florideas on and bought a very small royal gramma I also fixed my skimmer which hadnt skimmed for about 3 months so the tank is looking much better

one of the best tanks i have seen for a long time, well done you must be very proud I love the rummy nose, my favourite tetra

you dont see many about in the UK but they are beautiful fish

looks like a cool little mushroom and actually like a little coral which name escapes me scolly?? i wouldnt worry about food etc it will be fine as it is even whilst tank cycling

and remember that fish are far hardier than you think Ive moved my 6 tanks twice in 12 months and as much as its stressful they are made of stern stuff. I also had lots of water containers so i didnt really have to add much bar my bigger tank

it came with one that didnt fit i got it second hand. I got a cheap one off ebay from hong kong in fact about a tenner was a Boyu 310 and it skimmed stufff out

oh this is the exciting bit!!! i had a river reef 94 set up twice you will be able to check out my journals on here excellent tanks

they look amazing, my pitchers didnt make it through the winter, i have 3 fly traps bough thsi year though in a bigger pot

lovely fish I want Motoros so bad ha what size tank are they in? Are the discus wild discus? Whats the long thinner fish at the surface looks like a gar?

its got a thin scattering of sand on there, when i moved the tank moving house in march i needed to make it as light as possible as it weighs a ton so took most of the sand out and didnt replace it as i prefer it without cheers Neale they certainly are the fire eels a stunner had him about a...

probably a decent 24 inch but will take some time to get there i reckon

I wish these would hurry up and grow big enough to go in the bigger tank. They are growing on in a 3ft tank so they get all the food bar what the L114 in the bottom gets. There are 2 of them bought as 6-8 ie one fish but when delivered two 3 inch fish. They're getting there

Had this Clown knife about 8 months now i think, he was tiny when i got him and was in my 20g then a 3ft tank and has been in my 120g for a couple of months now. He has shot up in size since being in the larger tank. Ive had a couple before over the last 20 years and they are possibly the best...

my Delhezi and Ornate dont but the Endlicheri I had last year did so on a daily basis mind you it was about 13 inch and looked daft trying to conceal itself under the sand

id say so!!!

sounds like an amazing project T1 and with having such a big tank something you have to try

Cheers L I have always loved it when under control as i love the way it pulses and flows but in this set up it has just gone mental and its spreading all over the shop I checked my nitrates today and they are really low 2 i think will post resuls from all tests later

thats the one mate £65 in the shops although i paid a bit less than that

I have a decent sized L128 and baby L200 in my 4 ft and they are fine, the L24 and 25 though would need a bigger tank to allow them to reach their potential How bout an L114 more easily and available and not too expensive, almost as impressive as well

My tank is being taken over by xenia and its getting right on my wick. how do i get rid of it because it gets stuck to the rock?

woke up this morning to be greeted by a horrible sight, my favourite and most expensive fish my flame angel was in the Mini Maxi anenome. Bummer!! not sure if the flame angel died and ended up in anenome or the anenome has taken it alive? whats peoples opinions on here? on an aside the...

great fish arent they, how big is it? It doesnt have many spots which is a shame as they brighten up the body

Im guessing a tyre track but Neales right too blurry too make out the pattern of the fish
