240 Gallon Planted Discus Tank - Maintenance

Monthly maintenance of my large dirted tank is not too bad. I've simplified the design such that it only takes an hour or so per month. The discus used to dart off when I cleaned, but now they are somewhat used to me.

Gregor,
A coarse filter foam from amazon: http://amzn.to/2ujdRcH
A more fine filter foam: http://amzn.to/2hD0xdt
I started to put the coarse foam on top of the fine foam for easier cleaning.
Thanks!

If you keep making it look this fast & simple, then pretty soon there won't be enough Discus to go around.

I love your tank man!
The only think that I would improve is the mechanical filtration though.
