Stunning!

Almost Dutch style in its use of groups, colours and textures. Your pruning technique must be excellent.

I have a couple of questions, if I may?

Why do you use a heater cable?

25.5C seems a little cool for discus, but I guess they must be ok...

Thanks for sharing.

Why almost?

Well, my substrate is very thick (10cm) and I use a mesh between the fertilized layer and the inert one (last on top), with the heating cable there is a slight movement of oxidized water (so I hope). Anyway I have always used it in all of my aquariums and how the saying goes "If it's working, don't touch it.".

Yes it is, but they manage. The thing that seems to bother them most is the bright light. Still, they are laying eggs all around almost every week, so I think they are OK.
Thanks for sharing.
Not at all.

almost a dutch tank because there are to much plants species in it. by dutch tanks it's a unwritten rule that there must be 1 plant fot every 10 cm of glass (front)
your tank is 1,5 mtr. that must be 15 species. you have a lot more. if the groups were bigger and less pecies it was a dutch tank

excuse me for my bad english

Any updates on your tank. I'd like to see a bigger picture so we can see the plants more clearly.

This is one of my favorite tanks!

Thank you!
unfortunately, three months ago I have changed the setup.
This is how it looks today:









More pictures of the renewed setup (and more) can be seen here:
