Well, i think i am long overdue an update!
Its been a few months and i am really pleased with the results! looking back on my pictures growth has been great and ten days ago i picked up my discus from Steve Punchard at aquascope (really recommend, quality fish!!)
However not all has been plain sailing, algae has crept in (unsure what type) and im getting green spot algae on the glass that i have to remove every fortnight.
The algae im putting down to adjusting my co2 settings to compensate for the 02 that ive started pumping into the aquarium (to help the discus settle in more) and possibly due to the occasional missed E.I dose. now that im on top of it all ill wait it out a few weeks and make an informed decision then. im pretty sure ive got great flow as the drop checker is very lime green in all areas!
Also a couple of my stem plants are struggling lower down, im pretty sure this is due to my higher temps (28 degrees) if they get too bad ill look into getting more tolerant plants.
so here are some pics!

Bonus for finding the 8 Discus that are hiding!

And finally...... Discus!
I would like to finish off by thanking all of the members for the help so far! and especially the lads that helped me learn how to take better pictures! im way off from where i want to be but its a great start!
