    Default 55 gal planted discus tank

    at first i was starting it up as a saltwater tank but changed my mind and decided to go with discus instead. Figured 2 salt tanks are enough...

    The tank is a 55 gallon (needs some minor touchups on the plastics) with a corner overflow going to my ~20gal sump, im running a model 8 return pump and i currently have a fluval 205 pulling out of the sump but i plan to change it to my rena xp2 once i figure out my seal problem with it






    ignore the skimmer, its going on my second salt tank

    at the moment i have 1 adult discus and 5 beautiful healthy discus thanks to rick, aka Canadian_Aqua_Farm

    they're currently in my 29 gal untill my 55 is more established, i will be slowly adding plants as i get them.
    as far as co2 i plan to use one of the fluval pressurized systems running into my return pump.
    i have lots of tanks
    and im a welder who likes playing with glass
