Completed my 100g planted tank w/discus

11-08-2012, 09:18 PM

Hello,

I am new to this forum and wanted to say hello. I have always wanted a planted aquarium with discus. I just completed my project and wanted to post it on here.

My system is:

100g Oceanic aquarium
(2) Fluval 305 cannister filters
120lbs of eco-complete substrate
CO2 system
driftwood and rocks
low light/discus plant package
5 discus
15 neon tetras
5 cardinal tetras

I am attaching a picture. The discus are hiding so they are difficult to spot.

Any input good or bad is appreciated, this is my first planted tank.

Looks great! 120 Lbs that's a lot of Eco!

Don't tell fish stories where people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish.

6g eclipse- yellow shrimp, chili rasboras, yellow apple snails
29g- geo grow-out, angels, 12"fire eel, dwarf frog, apple snails

Welcome to the Box!

I think you did a great job. I don't like the up and down stripes. but I don't think it really needs a background.
