 |  New to SW
Hello everyone,
I am new to a saltwater setup. I currently have a 100 gallon tank with Discus. If no one has ever seen a Discus tank they are not pretty, usually bare bottom. Its not very pleasing to the eye. The fish are awesome, but its time to move on. I hope you dont mind if I hang out and ask a lot of lamer questions....would rather be right then wrong. Oh yeah I plan on using my existing tank for my reef/fish setup. |

Ask away! | Thank you for the warm welcome everyone. Discus are not as hard as everyone thinks. Keep the water clean and mix up their diet and they will be fine. They can be fickle at times. I can reach in the tank and pick them up and put them in a bucket...for when I am deep cleaning the tank. | |
