My Discus Show Tank

That is just stunning, the tank looks great and the fish look fantastic!
 
I hope one day I'll have discus fish. I love your tank, maybe you should come to the UK and do my tank :p
 
Wow....thank you for such nice comments, all. I am new to this site, and already learning a lot of new perspectives by reading through the posts

wow a beautiful tank and set up the discus look so healthy

Its what I was trying to create but money circumstances changed for me
 
Over the past week or so I have been wanting to change my tank layout. A bit like a nicely decorated room, after a while, no matter how nice it is, a change is needed. There was nothing wrong with how it was, but I had new ideas. Initially I wanted to go hardscape and have no plants this time, but I like my plants too much, and the colour it brings......what to do, what to do

So the answer was a 50/50 tank.....Half would be hardscape and half would be planted. This way I could keep both parts of myself happy.

So thought I would post the stages here......

Their last supper in the old home.....

Step 1. Send my girlfriend to the hair salon, so she doesn't witness the mess I am about to generate!

Step 2. Set up one of the filters and a heater in a plastic box with tank water, and shift the fish. Then I can take my time.

I removed all the plants and popped them in a bucket, ready to sort through later, and see what will stay. Drained the tank..... And now for the dirty bit.....shoveling the old substrate away
