    What a transformation! It's looking great. Will you be adding some wood in there?

    It looks beautiful. Over what period of time were these pictures taken?

    Luckily for me 4 of the Discus paired off, so I have 2 breeding pairs

    Unfortunately the plants have taken a back seat at the moment. One of the ballasts have blown, meaning the plants are not getting enough light. This will hopefully be resolved soon with a 8X39w or 6X54w pendant as well as a 5kg Co2 cylinder



    Probably over 6-7 months. Can't get any decent pics at the moment due to the bad light over the tank
