Good luck with your chosen method of raising your group of discus Chad.
I sure look forward to the progress of your fish.
Can't wait to see some pictures of your new discus.
Good luck Chad. I didn't know there were two fellow Californian's either. I am so excited to see this start. Let's get some fish shipped :D
Can't wait til you have them in your planted tank Chad! Have fun raising them out. Congratulations again!:)

Kenny, All-
Thanks for the kind words! I am really looking forward to receiving these beautiful discus. I just got word from Al that they should ship out and be here on Thursday. That's my cue to get my butt in gear! Naturally once the shipment arrives, the photos will follow, so keep your eyes peeled! This is gonna be fun!!
Take care and best wishes!
Eddie,
I'll be taking some photos in the coming days. The tank that I am using for the contest discus was not always a discus tank. I started converting it last night.
It's a 110 tall and was the living room show tank for a few years. Mostly had community fish. Last night I stripped it, changed the background from black to light blue, sterilized it and changed the sand. I like to run the first 24 hours with tap water to allow the bacterial filter a better chance of surviving without bioload (higher Ph, like 8.7).
Tonight I'll drain the tank and fill it with the dicus mix (tap/RO/DI). I have some new parts coming in for the filtration system. I haven't connected the sump yet. Maybe tonight. To that I'll be adding the CO2 reactor, Ozone reactor and carbon reactor.
That's about it! Pictures to follow once it's all put together.
Best wishes!
OMG so may "reactors" do you light up to! LOL
Kath,
Thanks for reminding me! I forgot the nuclear reactor. LOL!
I just went back and re-read what I wrote. It does sound a bit crazy! LOL!
Best wishes!
Eddie,
Thanks brother! I know you'll be watching! I'll really be excited to see how the different methods measure up. Let the games begin!
Best wishes!
Let me join in with the gang in wishing you the best of luck with this challenge!
Best,
David
