going barebottom... I do plan to add a few weighted, fake plants though.are you gonna add substrate or just go barebottom?
Hehehe... yep, the filter rocks!I like the background, filters not too bad either
Yep... 125g is correct!Looks like a nice setup! How big (I'm guessing a 125g)?
same here, my first time around. I think I am going to start with sub-adults though... some of the 4+ inche fish... unless I somehow get lucky enough to take advantage of his $150 jumbo special. doubt it though... so the 4" or 5" ones are my current targets.I know there's not much to it but you're definitely on the right track. When I was growing my discus out, I wished I would have gone bare bottom because it's SO much easier for WC's and feeding. Post pics when they are in there.
I don't think I want to paint it. there is a large whole in the center part of the stand, just underneath the tank. It is large enough for me to slide something underneath for the bottom. I was thinking of some sort of white or beige paper. my wife had an interesting idea, that I would never had thought of... she suggested I stuff a couple of our light colored, older sheets underneath, to create a sort of textured look... I might experiment with that and see how it comes off.Try white or ecru for the bottom paint.
Simple, but looks pretty good for just being construction paper.
