What are the plants attached to the upper levels of the driftwood? Java fern? Beautiful tank....stunning.

Stan TheObserver - 7 years ago

A+...Congrats!

Stan TheObserver - 7 years ago

You're welcome..as somebody who worked in public museums live care of fish (and huge ponds)..that's one of the nicest home aquariums I've ever seen and people should emulate- try too at least- what you've done. In spirit if not in the total!

Music?

Aqua Coops - 7 years ago

Very cool, love the rock work. Have a look at mine and let me know what you think! : )

mcbeeth28 - 7 years ago

Temp?

Siddhartha Saive - 7 years ago

About 27 to 30° through the year. No need for a heater on this tank. I use big fans to cool the water in the summer

Tuan Nguyen - 7 years ago

amazing, .....so very beautiful.

Prank K - 7 years ago

What filtration is used

lightspeed72 - 7 years ago

Nice planted tank with great Discuss. Wish the video was longer and on a tripod. Could watch it for much longer.

Jon Lenin - 7 years ago

Holy...Shit... I'm stealing this idea... Sorry. And I will be taking full credit when people ask.

Beautiful Tank! What type of light do you use to penetrate a tank that deep and still grow plants?

EricPalmer303 - 8 years ago

Ok, are those spotted mouth cichlids? Or am I mistaken. I’ve never seen any other cichlid paired in a tank with Discus

Siddhartha Saive - 8 years ago

They are Geophagus winemilleri. 10 of them. Atleast 2 pairs of them. They dig huge pits for courtship and get brightly coloured when breeding. They retired to their sleeping spots during this video

sean imperio - 8 years ago

what are those fish sucking on the glass? They don't look like pleco, but I immediately am attracted to them and would like maybe 2-3 in my tank.

Siddhartha Saive - 8 years ago

Those are Garra sp. Have 6 of them in my tank. Very good algae eaters but there territorial. They do good in big tanks

Muhammad Ehtisham - 8 years ago

Hi, such a beautiful tank can you share the tank mates list and quantity? I am going to setup discus community tank. Many Thanks

Fernando C.M. - 8 years ago

Maravilloso y espectacular acuario!!!.....felicidades!!....peces muy bonitos!!!

The SurfingBlastoise - 8 years ago

is it hard maintain the substrait

Siddhartha Saive - 8 years ago

Sand is the easiest substrate to maintain. Low maintenance. Debris can only stay on the top and nothing seeps into the substrate. If you have enough flow in the tank all the debris will get pushed to the filter and not settle on the sand

Kaveh Maguire - 8 years ago

Love it!

Kamil - 8 years ago

1:38 Could you tell me the name of the fish on the right. It's medium-sized with some red color. And your tank is beautiful! :)

telcom6661 - 8 years ago

inspiring

T.W. - 8 years ago

Would look so much better with just disscus instead of other bigger fish.

Siddhartha Saive - 8 years ago

STR33TSofJUST1C3 both discus and Geophagus are South American fish and are from similar waters and prefer similar parameters. Geophagus are much hardier and can adapt easily to a wide range of parameters

STR33TSofJUST1C3 - 8 years ago

I thought the geo didn't like the warmer, more acidic water that discus usually prefer.

Kaveh Maguire - 8 years ago

No it wouldn't. Tank looks awesome just the way it is.

Siddhartha Saive - 8 years ago

Better for a pic or video maybe but boring as hell. Geos are very interesting fish to watch :)

praisid siroraj - 8 years ago

Awesome tank buddy. How do you manage the plants? The water is extra chlorinated in summer months in India . Is it jz enough to hold the water for a couple of days? Cos I can still smell chlorine after 4 days. Do you measure chlorine levels?

Siddhartha Saive - 8 years ago

thank you ☺ i never check the chlorine levels. the water i use is stored in overhead tank. the chlorine is supposed to evaporate in a day

Ian David Atkinson - 9 years ago

Wow!

Basti Stracke - 9 years ago

wow amazing! I think this is definitely the most beautiful discus Tank I've ever Seen.

liberrosas - 9 years ago

hello...how often do you change the water? i would like discus but I've seen alot of people on YouTube saying that a daily water change is needed.

liberrosas - 9 years ago

Siddhartha Saive thanks for the reply and very AWESOME tank that you have

Siddhartha Saive - 9 years ago

i do 50% water changes once or twice a week now that the discus have grown out. i did daily and alternate day changes for the first year. For adult discus a weekly water change is good enough

Fish are just as interested in us,as we are with them

GTI8855 - 9 years ago

The video could be even better with a tripod.
May be, you will make another video (10-15 minutes)?

GTI8855 - 9 years ago

If you translate it to human language, it's 2271 litres.

Jon Lenin - 7 years ago

Hey man, pickets, yards and nautical miles make way more sense. I don't know; something about millimeters, centimeters, meters and kilometers being 10x bigger than the next just makes my head spin. I think I need to lay down now. ITS TOO MUCH!

MELODY MUNRO - 8 years ago

Actually the majority of the world uses metric...do you still count using your fingers too?

Tareq Unltd - 8 years ago

true hahah thx

Joe Amazon - 9 years ago

You have to replenish over 100 gallons just to do a water change.

Siddhartha Saive - 9 years ago

tap water is chlorinated here too. if you could store the tap water in some container overnight most of the chlorine will evaporate. my tap water gets stored in a big overhead tank on the roof (to be used for the entire house) so i don't have issues

GTI8855 - 9 years ago

Unfortunately, in Moscow tapwater is chlorinated.

GTI8855 - 9 years ago

how long does it take to change water?

Faizan Khan - 9 years ago

wat r the small fishes schooling around at the top of tank called?

Siddhartha Saive - 9 years ago

Harlequin rasboras and rummynose tetras

The Last Dragon - 9 years ago

Awesome tank. I'm planning to keep Harlequin rasboras along with discus. What temperature do you set for this tank?

luke bushby - 9 years ago

Hello your tank is absolutely amazing I would love to model my tank on yours also I would love to see how you do water change on a 600 gallon tank that would be really interesting just watched all of your other videos from when you started this tank it's changed so much looks so good !

Thai Aquascapes - 9 years ago

stunning!!

II Knucklez II - 9 years ago

I hope my 180 planted discus tank looks like this when I'm done with it

Siddhartha Saive - 9 years ago

all the best for it ☺

Greymom P - 9 years ago

Beautiful! All that needs to be said. :)

Manas Madhurapantula - 9 years ago

amazing tank...i have a question... dont' plants need some kind of aquasoil substrate or something to be able to grow? or can these be grown in a mix of construction and riverbed sand like you mentioned? thanks in advance

Greymom P - 9 years ago

The plants used are able to grow attached to the wood. They get their nutrients from the water and anything that's decayed on the wood.

tanmay sharma - 9 years ago

simply amazing tank dude... where are you from? I m totally mad about setting up a discus tank. Your suggestions could really help..
