550 gallon planted discus tank

jazzlvr123 · 02-24-2011, 06:29 AM

Heres a Clients tank I did At the Farber Radiology Center night next to ground zero Here in NYC. The tank is visible from both sides one side is viewable to the entrance lobby and the other is Viewable to the waiting are inside. It's a Planted Discus tank With Mazanita Wood, Glossostigma, Ludwigia Peruensis, Anubias nana petite and 7 Giant Discus. the tank is only 2 weeks old so it needs time to grow out

Heres the Victor regulator I built for the tank this sucker is as solid as they come Ideal Needle Valves and clippard solenoid

I built a 24" x 2" PVC Venturi Co2 Reactor which we have running on a Mag Drive 12 pump in the 90 gallon sump area beneath the tank. completely dissolving the CO2 into the water before getting pulled into the tanks Return Line

Heres shots of the tank one week after planting

Wow thats beautiful

MissGreen08 · 02-27-2011, 02:15 AM

Out of curiosity, why anubias nana petite vs. regular anubias nana? Wouldn't a slightly larger leaf look better with such a large tank?

pandjpudge · 02-27-2011, 02:51 AM

Whoa is that a black discus? Or is it dark navy ? Either way that looks crazy awesome

ADA · 03-03-2011, 06:59 AM

Is it really 550?? Or is that a typo?? Beautiful tank, and fish too.. I wish I could keep discus.
