New Planted Discus Tank

Let me know what you think of my new discus setup.

90 Gallon Custom Tank
Rena XP3 and Fluval 405 Filters
Corallife Deluxe Lighting
12 Discus (Pigeons, Red Dragons, Blue Diamonds)
12 Red Miners
12 Cardinal Tetras
Live Plants (rosetta, java fern, anubias)
Texas holey rocks
2 pieces of driftwood

***Yes I know the back of the tank is still ugly and working on ways to hide the piping and tubing.****

you have 12 discus in their?????????? lol
what are the dims on that tank?

i love it!
12 discus huh, yikes thats alot.a ha
ya whats the dimesions of that tank.
nice plants.

Very pretty!

Tank is 48x22x20. Approximately 90 Gals. I know thats alot of fish but they are still pretty small. Biggest one is 4-5" and smaller ones are 3-4".

thats still alot of fish!!! even for that size!!!
discus get a pretty good size and that many in a 4ft tank will stress or stunt then later!

I agree. I'm looking to upgrade here in the next few months. I guess anyone in the market for some discuss? J/k.

they look good. I have 14 in a 125 and they have plenty of space. Only critique i have is discus tend to enjoy lower ph, holey rock is intended to raise the ph. I'd ditch the holey rock. Where'd you get the discus?

Sounds nice. I'm sad....I can't see the pics at work.

Awesome set up, Awesome fish! Congratz..... Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks!

Quite nice, I do agree that you have too many, I have 7 in a 90g.... discus get quite large if well cared for.
Yes that holey rock is limestone and will raise your PH and harden your water, not good for discus.

Thanks! I took the advice and removed the rocks. Will be upgrading tank in the near future. More reasons to get a bigger tank.

Are you using tap or RO water? If you are using RO make sure you add a buffer to it or you may get a PH crash.

Its only ugly if you don't like it showing. I personally gave up a long time ago on trying to disguise the equipment, I know its there, you know its there so why go out of the way to hide it. Just my personal opinion

Lol. I agree. I'm using cured tap water.

you're local, we should compare set ups. I would post pics but have to do it at home, at work I cant access my flickr account.

hey cyberluu were did u get ur discus? Its a very nice set up!!!!

Awesome Tank and Discus!!

all Fish look Nice but that one very dark fish. Watch him he looks like he is very stressed or ill.

That tank lay out is great and I love the wood. If I had that many fish discus I would grow them out a bit and only keep the best.

Discuss also Love heavy planted tanks..

Eh yes and no, I'm going to have to pull a few plants out of my discus tank, I have a too many. They like some tall stuff to swim around and hide behind but they do need open sand to pick food up from.
Just my observations from watching my new discus.

"They like some tall stuff to swim around and hide behind but they do need open sand to pick food up from. Just my observations from watching my new discus."

I agree with Fern on that . That was was my thoughts & experience , they like the driftwood standing & tall plants . I've kept Discus in all types of water they seem to do best in a STABLE environment , not raising or lowering the PH just acclimating them to your water . Pretty fish ...

Very peaceful piece of work.

My wife seen it and said "she loves it".
Thanks alot bruh, now I'm in the market for some Discus.
