    You will have to make me a good offer on the house.Lol

    Apart from the equipment outlay.
    The is no reason why you can't have a tank like this.

    Algae Wizard, Dolphin was bragging about your planted tank 2 weeks ago when I went through to pick up some Apisto's from him...

    I am VERY impressed dude!

    Can you give a list of the fish you have in there?

    I was under the impression than Discus are not successful in communities... but you seem to have got something right there. Thos discus look very healthy and happy!

    Don't use neons ( too many diseases)

    400litre..... aaaaaaahhh

    Just realised that you running a tank literally 2.5 times my size. I'm running a 160l. Which I don't think would be fair on a discus.

    Boo Hoo
