It looks great! The HC foreground seems to be filling in nicely.

I like the jungle effect. Makes it look like it just grew in that way. I like a natural feel to a tank, not that I don't appreciate meticulously manicured tanks, I just prefer the unkempt look.

Great lookin' jungle you got there now! That discus looks like a monster the way it has its fins tucked and is cruising around! Looks like a hi-fin?
What's the water requirements of the Hemigraphis? That is a really nice plant!!

I got some from Ian at our last club meet. He has very soft San Francisco water whereas mine is liquid rock. We both dose EI and use pressurized CO2. So if I can get it to grow (so far, so good :thumbsup: ) then it'd be safe to say that it can grow in just about any water type.Georgiadawgger said:

Wow bill, this tank looks great, as do your other tanks! When is the 50 gal gonna make it onto the website?
thanks everyone. It is a hi-fin discus. I also have one more in there its a hi-fin red leopard. That one is really shy though. I'm away for two weeks so it may be interesting in how things turn out. I'll post some pictures when I get back in two weeks.

Hawaii!!!! I was there for a few weeks a few summers back. How is it there during the winter? My mom wants to head there herself.
Anyways, I like the dimensions of your tank a lot better than my own. Mine is 48"x12"x21". Even worse than a 55 gallon. :icon_redf
The discus looks really nice. I never seen that variation before today. I was wondering what was involved in keeping just one in your tank?
Your macranda looks very healthy. It is enjoying itself under your high lighting. I am a fan of the plant myself.

Jimmy, I have two discus in my tank. They are a pair. The other discus is just shy. Winter in hawaii is normally the rainy season. Its been ok so far this year. Marc let me know how is grows for you. You got the smallest stem that I brought to the meet.

I am back in cali, my tank looks like it has survived. Plants were growing out of the water. The stellata and hemigraphis turned into some sort of emersed growth. Only plants that looked worse off was the toninas (lack of NO3?). Will post some updates.
