Hi Lee , Cheers for the info, I have a C02 cylinder at the moment doing nothing as i stopped at that point after hearing some folk having problems in there Discus tanks. I have 6 Discus in my Osaka and did have 8, but in a planted set up i think 6 looks enough in the 260. I have some pics of my...

Stunning tank Naz, I have the Osaka 260 and keep Discus as well, standard lights, no C02 injection as (i,m not brave enough) How many Discus do you have (they look really nice) and were they ok when you started using the C02, I,ve heard alot of mixed views on C02 in a Discus tank. I added a...

Re: vision 180 to osaka 260 Hi, Alot of changes to the tank and think i,m a finished with the osaka, although i did want too add a couple of tiger lotus, but don,t know. I eventually added a black background and moved things around a bit. I,m still using Easycarbo, but i have started using...

Thanks aaron,, Billy,,

Hi bazz, They are fussy eaters and i feed them, beefheart,garlic,and earthworm flakes,, Tetra prima, Frozen turkeyheart,bloodworm and daphnia, They will also try and steal the cory,s pellets and the algae wafers for my bristlenose and i find a clean up crew of alot of cory,s keeps the bottom...

Hi Donalo, Sorry for not replying sooner, I have some pics of the tank,but the plants suffered a little when they went without ferts for 2wks while i was on holiday I,ve had some algae issues and the Discus are a little skittish in the new open top tank but getting more use to it,so at the...

Hi abdul, I keep my Discus in dechlorinated tap water and they are fine,,,tapwater is neutral ph 7 and in the tank it,s 6.6,,, I would find a reputable supplier that has the same water stats as yours and get your discus from them and you should have no probs,, I don,t use C02 as i,m worried...

Thanks aaron,,, Just back from holiday and i set up the osaka a week before i left but no ferts for the 2wks i was away and plants not at their best at the moment :( i will sort things out and still some new plants too add to the set up but not decided what to get, The tank needed 40ltrs of...

Hi donalo,Thanks for your nice comments, I,ve kept fish for a number of years,but i would say the last 5yrs or so i,ve been really more into it,but the plant side of things has not been my strong point,and it was more about the fish, When i eventually was brave enough to get Discus,(2yrs ago)i...

Hi Folks, I,m upgrading to an Osaka 260 and this is my last pics of my Vision 180,,, This is my first kind of real attempt at a planted tank,but i,ve also got 6 Discus in there,,(i didn,t want to go down the bare Discus type tank) and reasonably happy with the results,,although the barebottom...

Hi Thomas,Thanks for your comments, When i first set up,the advice i took was i didn,t need C02,so just went with the ferts,i later started adding easycarbo, I,ve had little algae issues and the same folk i got advice from,are now recommending C02 for me,so i,m a bit confused at the moment,lol...
