4ft freshwater tank in progess

Thank you Brennan

duckweed I know the stuff and your right it would cover the surface entirely very quickly

I may end up removing them from the pots now, the substrate was not deep enough when they where 1st added hence they got left in there and more gravel added around them

Wow Steve - simply stunning!!! It's already looking great!!!!

I will be following this along . . . . discus is about the only somewhat common freshwater species I never did try. They are beautiful specimens!!!!

 

thank you M-Ocean Man

Discus are my favourite freshwater fish and they where the last freshwater fish I had before deciding to get into salt water
they are great for planted tanks , as they can slip through the plants and dont bulldoze everything like other equally large fish would

Steve

 

I still want Discus...

 

this was the image taken about 6 weeks ago

this one taken about 3 weeks ago
here is the tank as of this morning



flattened the bridge of baby tears and this plant has shown the most growth over last 6 weeks

The cabomba has also doubled in height

and the straight vallis is now requiring plantlets removing as the runners are now working their way forwards

Steve

 

tank looks epic steve! what are you gonna add for fish?

 

I have them the Saltwater Guy

I have a pair of Discus, 6 neons, 2 platties and a plecostamus
they just tend to hide when the camera is about

Steve

 

Tank looks great, awesome growth! The baby tears looks awesome and very healthy

 

How did I miss this thread Steve? I love planted tanks.... and Discus for that matter. You have a very nice pair there. I have yet to see a single one in real life. Stupid boonies.

 

Very nice tank. Great growth in those plants. I'm toying with the idea of a planted FW tank...have only had one or two at a time in my FW tanks but seeing other poeples planted tanks is making me want to try.
