125 gallon Discus Tank

[CanadaPleco]

Well I finally got my 125 gallon tank back up and running today after a long 2 month period where it was just standing on end. I had a bit of a leak, well with one of my Eheims, there was water coming leaking from one of the tubes. It caused a bit of hell on my hardwood floor, but in anycase.

I had a really nice stand made of Oak. Stained it black, looks really nice, except I have got to get my friend to finish it and make me the doors and a nice canopy now. Got the SUMP all setup today. I have a 55 gallon tank with 3 chambers, hides all my heating etc. First sump I have built and it turned out great! Will get pics up of it tomorrow, to dark right now.

The tank will be fully planted with some easy growing plants, I'm no green thumb.

Stocking:
Leopard Frogs
Orange Laser Corys
Few BN for algae control
1 Gold Nugget
A dozen or so Discus from Hans Discus :) (coming next month at the catfish convention)

Stay Tuned for pics!

You may want to try a lotus in your tank Big leaves, very pretty, flower occassionally and last a long, long time. My discus seem to like it.

YUP, i was thinking of getting one, a red one. the gf loves red plants, and it matches the one wall in the room too. lol

Well I finally snapped a pic of the tank. The doors just came in the other day and I have yet to stain them.

Wow, your tank looks amazing! Great job. What are you using for lighting?

[CanadaPleco]

Yes I made the stand myself, well with the help of a cabinet maker friend :)
