Is it same price no matter what size of tank to test it?

I have a chance to get a free 60lb c02 tank from a welder buddy,but Its expired

I took some photos on my iPad,if you send me your email I can send you a photo or two as well.

I am having trouble posting photos from my ipad to this site

Welcome to Aa.

Lots of helpful people on here,and another great site for saltwater info is canreef.com

i wish i could own some altums.....maybe down the road.

they are in my opinion the holy grail of fish to breed,not many have done it in the past(or heckle discus another extremely hard to breed species)

good luck selling you planted setup,hopefully you can get a huge tank full of nice discus in the future

weird,what kind of lighting are you using?

also are you using c02?also DIY or Pressurized?

thanks

steve

oh wow you have quite a setup alreaddy.i see space could be an issue.

i diddent realize you were this deep in the hobby alreaddy lol

in my 150 gallon i have 8 wildcaught blues,and in my 195 gallon i have 10 wildcaught red spotted(technically both the same family of discus,just different rivers collected from)

i got them from fairdeal and jorg,really nice fish

in my 150 gallon im running 2X300w ebo heaters to keep it up and one slightly bigger in my 195 gallon.

heat is hard to keep even with tight fitting lids

that sounds like a good diet.you could even look into red river shrimp(kensfish.com) large food but a good treat

and plankton is great,also if you want to go through the trouble of live food my discus really like red wigglers once in awhile.

only 2 of my 18 discus will accept flake or pellets,and even then they only take one or two bites.with the combo of different flakes and pellets your going with you should have luck getting them to eat one or two variety's.

sorry if i come across as annoying,but i still believe discus need a minimum of 4ft swimming space in a school

alright,but dont listen to those guys on simply discus that tell you to feed you discus beefheart/liver,or chicken heart/liver or bison heart/liver

there are many better foods,krill,bloodworms,blackworms,mysic shimp,flakes and pellets,if you want to get creative

make a homemade food with whitefish and crab or prawns or shrimp

Good luck with it

seems a little small for a school of discus.

this would be a perfect breeding tank for a pair though

if your pond gets alot of sun those plants should multiply pretty quickly,depending how many fish you have in there.

I will agree that the container has a small part to do with it,but mostly pruning the actual plant and proper nutrition have more to do with it.

Like I said though if someone was to go threw the trouble of re potting there plant every 2weeks-a month they would never have a limiting factor on there root growth,thus they would never"stunt" the plant or limit it's potential

I do trim two certant species of plants roots,but not for the bonsai affect,it you trim off the long runner roots you will get very healthy shorter "hairy" new root growth.root trimming is common in all gardening.

bonsai is all about trimming the plant and keeping it small with little help from fertilizer......not the roots.........

I have seen bonsai with a 3gallon pail for a container,(bigger smaller container doesemt matter)

Not true,you can easily change to a bigger pot every month if you want to be ridicules and not limit your plants growth

I see where they are coming from,but if you never let the roots hit a stopping point there will be no limits.

Also proper growing conditions must be given,along with proper plant nutrition.

Interesting read though

Welcome to AA.

Another great source for saltwater information is canreef.com

I was doing some research on C. arnoldi and found

Fascinating creatures!

Do you still have these fish?

Cool video,good find fisher

Does it NEED to be a t8?

Those sun blaster high output t5s are great

They sell them at many garden stores in Edmonton

I'm curious as well,how is this coming along?

And I noticed your running a red/blue led on the sump.What brand is that or did you DIY?

The reason I ask is I found really good deals on led grow lights,they are for plants not aquariums.But your sump has no fish in it anyways.

Welcome to the forum

Edit-

Just for people to know,April sells Australian blackworms they are held to a higher standard than the Two california blackworm farms.

Welcome

I have a pound extra,I ordered 2 pounds from April in BC

You can buy sme from me or contact April directly and get her to ship you some

Call and ask the Rona in spruce grove

I'm 90% sure they had some last time I was there

NLS grow formula

It's a healthy high protein small pellet

i think home depot only has the 48'' now

but i think rona has the 36 dual bulb
