@mikyfregon Ciao, la temperatura del serbatoio viene mantenuta a 28 ° C, che è più o meno un limite accettabile per le piante e per il Discus.

mikyfregon - 13 years ago

bellissimo acquario!!!ma con la temperatura adatta ai discus,come fai ad avere piante cosi' belle?complimenti!.

MrJosephsdaddy - 13 years ago

beautiful

Tom Teters - 13 years ago

Beautiful grouping of colorful healthy Discus, but needs higher-res camera, less zooming. I have a old 44 gal. and went to my local glass shop for about $20, they cut and edged a sheet of glass that covers the top, just wide enough for air tubes and so I can feed them. I just put the light on top of the glass. REALLY cuts down evaporation to about 1gal/week.

strawwoodclaw - 13 years ago

Beautiful tank - what plant did you use to carpet the bottom. does it grow easily

hammertimevice - 13 years ago

awsome scape

MarcoVerheyen - 14 years ago

Don't you have ALOT of water evaporating with the lidless tank at around 30 degrees? Beautifull tank btw!

tanmay sharma - 14 years ago

u indian ???

BaMenace - 14 years ago

whats the composition of your garden bed? is it just gravel or is it a combonation of soil/sand/gravel?

Mike Nicholas - 14 years ago

@indianjoe27 one of my phirhanas did that was very painful getting back in the tank

Георгий Карабедов - 14 years ago

really 350l? in my opinion it's 600-700l. I think the length of more than 150

tim818 - 14 years ago

Beautiful setup. Is it hard to maintain?

José Graça - 14 years ago

Hi The CO2 gives a hand on lowering the PH but Discus created in captivity can easaly live in PH 7.0 or even 7.5

José Graça - 14 years ago

@orange9th Thank you very much!!!

José Graça - 14 years ago

@CunningStunt123 Hi, Unforntunately yes :( They often in the dark make sleezy moves

José Graça - 14 years ago

@ThunderTundra1011 Thanks. That was one my permisses on the mounting planning

José Graça - 14 years ago

@Ronnierayv Thanks

José Graça - 14 years ago

@jacques256 Thank´s You can see the evolution of this aquarium on the other video called Garden of Stone II...

José Graça - 14 years ago

Hi there Discus fish in they´re natural habitat live in dark waters, but the experience i have so far is that as long you create places where Discusb can go when they´re frightened, there´s no problem!!! Discus like refugee´s, if you staged light where you can alternate from full to half power between your fotoperiod you will have no problems whats so ever...

José Graça - 14 years ago

@TheLivingStone7 Im going to see them pretty soon in Lisbon!! :)

Ronnierayv - 14 years ago

megarepsol - 14 years ago

@megarepsol i also have 2 heaters and an air pump.

megarepsol - 14 years ago

i was told by my local fish guy that discus hate bright lights and wouldn't do well since the plants need bright lights.....i would love to set up a tank like this...i just bought a 125 gal and my friends are trying to make me go salt water but i keep explaining how beautiful discus are. ok so here is what i have so far....125 gal. lights but they are reg lights...i have 1 renastar xp3 canister filter. i would luv to learn how to care for a planted + discus tank please help

José Graça - 14 years ago

hi Like omega wrote, there no need to clean up, the plants will take care of left overs :)

José Graça - 14 years ago

Thank you very much!!!

punchmau - 14 years ago

Do you adjust the PH with the help of the Co2 or you use PH adjusters??? It Looks beautifull. I'd like to have Disus..

omega7arts - 14 years ago

no need to in planted tanks

kouniao - 14 years ago

at last a tank with taste!

nosyiam - 14 years ago

@indianjoe27 Yes the only problem now is she lied to me saying some of the fish I got will grow to a couple of inches I looked online they can grow to 12 inches. (It was kissing gouramis) Now guess you has to get a 50 or 55 gallon tank for about 10 fish:-)

José Graça - 14 years ago

Hi I wouldn´t go that long but i´m flatered by your words :) Go to Mr. Amano Takashi website and see some work´s of pure art !!!

José Graça - 14 years ago

hi Thank you very much!!!

José Graça - 14 years ago

hi Since the beginningof planting to the time i made the video it went around 1 1/2 year. This is my first planted aquarium, it took me a lot of reading hours to learn how to take care of plants, and of course the failures lead to improves. In the beginning i had weeks in a row when i changed 100...150 liters of waters per day to remove excess of nutrients from water column, all to combate algaes plagues, cianobacteries, etc, etc

José Graça - 14 years ago

Hi You can find your answer in the post before your´s :) And yes i use a botlle of CO2. I´m from Portugal and bought it in a near shop called "Naturline".

José Graça - 14 years ago

Thank you for the comments!!! The carpet it´s a mix of 3 kind of plants... Eleocharis acicularis, eleocharis parvula and hemianthus micranthemoids. This plants are planted directly into the sustract...

José Graça - 14 years ago

Hi Yes i use a rate of 2 bubbles per second of CO2 and use liquid fertilizers like K, Fe and micros, any other time i add PO4 but rarely. Thanks for the comments

José Graça - 14 years ago

Hi Thank you very much!!!

José Graça - 14 years ago

Hi Sorry man i didn´t get it :( Is everything ok right now?

sloppi1234 - 14 years ago

whatscrakn101 - 14 years ago

what i the plant on the floor ? how does it grow out ? and where do you buy it ? and are you using c02

RiosDesire - 14 years ago

fabulous waterscaping! what plant did you use to get that grass carpet? i read somewhere that they sew the plant into a nylon sheet or something....

nosyiam - 14 years ago

@indianjoe27 I never added anything to the water for the ph. The lady at the store never said why it would go cloudy. Back to my first ? do I need to add something to the water for the cloudy promblem?

José Graça - 14 years ago

Hi there again The ph at 6.2 is not bad. For example you can add fish that like acid water like discus, tetras and others. Did you add anything to your water to raise the PH is that it? The cloudy water is a consequence of it? Sorry you must explain yourself better and detailed.... Bye

nosyiam - 14 years ago

@indianjoe27 everything is fine but the ph is about 6.2. Do you know anything I should do? The lady at the petstore said in few hours your tank will go cloudy then 3 days after that you can add fish. Do I need to add anything to the water to get it clear?

José Graça - 14 years ago

Hi there Sorry i didin't get the all picture!!! You have mounted your tank, and someone said to you that in three days long you could start adding fish? Cloudy water is not a good prediction... Bye

nosyiam - 14 years ago

I got my freshwater 20 gallon long tank's water tested the lady said in a few hours my water will go cloudy then after 3 days I can add fish do i need to add stuff to my water before adding fish to get the water clear

José Graça - 14 years ago

Lol I wonder!!! Bye dude!!!

José Graça - 14 years ago

Hi Not really... The expensive acessorie in a tank it's the light system. 2x the price of the tank.

José Graça - 14 years ago

Thanks!!! It's my pleasure...

sloppi1234 - 15 years ago

man, you have put some big amounts of cash in that aquarium! realy nice

Jules Dee - 15 years ago

one word...Stunning. Thanks for sharing!

José Graça - 15 years ago

Thanks Man!!!

José Graça - 15 years ago

Hi there A good water quality it's important no mater what kind of fish you put in your tank. What kind of cichlids do you have? Keep in mind that are cichlids that like a water PH of 8.0 and more, and Discus Fish like it around 6-7. Be aware to the kind of substrate and rocks and it's origin.... But more important of all, read a lot about Discus fish, they are strong but you must know how to take care of them. Bye

Fredrick SuperAquaMan Johansson - 15 years ago

Discus are cichlids too. you need to change the water once a week at least to kepp a fair water quality for them.

supajuxt - 15 years ago

i was thinking of switching from cichlids to discus, but everyone tells me that water quality is very very important. do all the plants tdo the cleaning of the bottom for you? how often do you do water changes?

José Graça - 15 years ago

Hi man No it's Pearl Jam - Garden of Stone and Madrugada - Majesty. See two post's above... Bye

José Graça - 15 years ago

Ok man... I'm going there... Bye

José Graça - 15 years ago

Hi Yes. All the plants are planted in the Substrate. It's akadama, it's used in bonsai's planting. Bye

José Graça - 15 years ago

Someday why not... who knows??? Right now african cichkids dont convince me :) Bye

José Graça - 15 years ago

Hi Yes i'm gonna make one soon... The tank has changed and dont have the some kind of plants and fish's... Bye

José Graça - 15 years ago

The Light's i have it's more than enough for what i want man!!!

José Graça - 15 years ago

That's a way of doing it....

José Graça - 15 years ago

Thanks Buddie!!! 1500x500x500mm Bye

José Graça - 15 years ago

Hi Good question... It's not gravel, but a substract named akadama used in Bonsai's. I dont clean it, i've Pitbull fish and lots of Melanoïdes tuberculata that eats rest's of food. What it stay's on the substract it's food for the plant's :) Bye

José Graça - 15 years ago

Hi Dont be, make one!!!! :) Bye

José Graça - 15 years ago

Thanks man!!! Bye

José Graça - 15 years ago

Hi there Thank you very much!!!! Bye

José Graça - 15 years ago

Hi there Thanks Man!!!! Bye

José Graça - 15 years ago

Hi there Thanks!!! 375Liters. Make the conversion :) Bye

José Graça - 15 years ago

Hi there Yes at that time he was with bacterian on the top fin, result of fight with red one... No, none of the fish that i've on the tank eats plants... Bye

José Graça - 15 years ago

Hi there Read the posts above.... dont be lazy :P Bye

José Graça - 15 years ago

I'm taking the risk of being bombed by saying this.... At this stage my aquarium is balanced, and by personal experience i get to the conclusion that if you make several waters changes, you will stress the fish, and they will get sick often. Discus are strong fish, but they dont like stress, so at this moment i only replace the water that evaporizes and i'm getting very good results with it. Bye

José Graça - 15 years ago

Hi there It's a mix of plants that gives that look... The plants Hemianthus micranthemoides and eleocharis acicularis. Bye

Elliot Green - 15 years ago

that tank + Ocean rock spread right through the back + beautiful malawi cichlids (lots of them + white sand + good filtration + led blue light + day light...== HEAVEN

sloppi1234 - 15 years ago

José Graça - 15 years ago

José Graça - 15 years ago

Hi, I 100% agree with you, space gives confort and hiding places to the oppressed ones... Bye

José Graça - 15 years ago

Hi That's a factor to be aware, if your discus are being attacked by other, there is a chance of he jumping out of the aquarium, but it is a remote chance!!!! Bye

José Graça - 15 years ago

Hi, Well the red one was the only lost i had... Sometimes this kind of fish get jumpy when scared, and i wasn't home so he died... :( Bye

José Graça - 15 years ago

Hey there, The plants you're looking for are (Hemianthus micranthemoides) and (eleocharis acicularis) The rest of the plants are described on the video... Consult the plant sites with the descriptions on the video and try to find it. Any questions i will help you!!! Bye

José Graça - 15 years ago

Thanks!!!

José Graça - 15 years ago

Thanks Man!!!

Richard B - 15 years ago

depends on wat kind of fish you hav....some of them jus luv to jump out, some doesnt. and also the space provided matters. lot of space and secure feeling reduces the resaons for a fish to jump out

nothinglim28 - 15 years ago

if your fish keeps trying to jump out of the tank, it means that your fish isnt happy. u should observe ur fish carefully see if its the other fishes that are attacking it or its not used to its environment. i hope i helped.

drkingslend - 15 years ago

Very very nice, do you ever have trouble with the fish jumping out of the tank?

José Graça - 15 years ago

I'm gonna get one of those :) Seem's like a nice way to do the changes!!! Tell me something, my WC it's like a 15 meters from the place where the aquarium is standing, that's not a problem? Can you describe it how you do it?

José Graça - 15 years ago

Hi Robert, Yes it's a lot of work!!! And the pain in your back, caused by the gallons of water changed to control algae plague. But in the end, you feel good by watching and observing what you have done :) Bye and thanks for the comment's...

José Graça - 16 years ago

Hi There Thanks Man... I saw your Paludarium and it's very nice, well done... Bye

José Graça - 16 years ago

Hi there that's a mith... Discus are a strong fish, that likes good water quality nothing more... Bye

José Graça - 16 years ago

I there This one was made by a local store here in Portugal, i gave the measures and they made it... Bye and Good Luck, start by having a small one!!!

José Graça - 16 years ago

Hi, Thanks for the comments!!! Regarding to plant care, I fertilize using Phosphates, Iron and Potassium. The amounts varies, but you must have: Nitratos 5 to 10 ppm Phosphates - Fosfato 0.5 to 1 ppm Potassium - Potássio 20 to 30 ppm Iron - Ferro 0.25 to 0.7 ppm (ATTENTION: This is to a Planted Tank) The Relation between nitrates, phosphates and potassium must be: You must fertilize with the propotion of 2ppm of Potassium to 1 of Nitrates, or 10ppm of Potassium to 1 of Phosphates. Bye

José Graça - 16 years ago

Thanks!!! Dont be make one of yours :)

José Graça - 16 years ago

BURESIF - 16 years ago

Best discus tank i ve ever seen. Can you post detailed information about it? Especially about plant care.

José Graça - 16 years ago

Hello, You are right on the commments you made... My advice to you is to keep a place in the tank withou any plantion, use rocks to make a line to avoid eleocharis to propagate to this area...

José Graça - 16 years ago

Hi there, You can see the plants described at 1:22 minutes Bye
