cale262 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) What you are saying is I need to add some more fish to the system to add more nitrates? I will turn off the skimmer and only use it when the surface scum gets to heavy. I will also redirect the filter outlet so it does not break the surface. The tank is 36" long 20" high and I think 14" wide. The light is a 2 bulb T-5 6500k and 1 white and 1 pink or red tinge to it. Exactly what I was thinking, more fish equals less work, and... a school of 20 rummy nose tetra's would look good in there :hey: I commented on the skimmer and filter outlet as they will vent off your co2 faster than you are currently putting it in +light =s great conditions for hair algae :beer: And yeah,...what J said :P Edited September 15, 2010 by cale262 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReefKeeper Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I'm trying to buy some juvenile discus but I find most of the suppliers way out of my price range. So I have to wait until I obtain a larger disposable income or find a seller willing to go within my budget for a half dozen or so. I would like about the size of a loonie. Right now $60.00 and above is alittle expensive for me for my first discus tank. Not saying that I am a beginner I had fish for over 25 years of and on mainly reef tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I've seen prices in the $30-50 range at a couple of the LFS around. Big Al's and Family Pet (in Sherwood Park) always have discus in, tho rarely at loonie size. I'd say the most common 'small' size I see is around the 2" mark.

ReefKeeper Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I have been looking for them ever since I started this tank. They are hare to come by. Also I think big Al's is a getting a little to pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
