Hey guys I'm new to this forum but have been on Planted Tank for a while so i sort of know what I'm doing. Anyway this is my 30 gallon as if now. I plan on redoing it completely in the very new future though. What do ya think?

Woh sorry for the terrible picture ill try puting another up later.

It looks good, I would try to remove some plants for more swimming room.

 

[avolcoma]

Agreed. That is one of the reasons i want to redo it. I want to make it more Amano style. I want to get started ASAP.

 

[Phil Edwards]

Why do you want to totally redo it? With the exception of there being too many discus in there it's a great setup. Right now, being small, the fish look to have enough room for swimming in as well as clear substrate to eat off of.

Ive had it set up that way for a LONG time and i am getting tired of it. It just seems like it is time for a change and it is getting neglected. It may not look like it in the picture but it is getting filthy. I recently set up a reef and have been so busy with that that i completely forgot about my planted. Now that everything has calmed down i noticed that it looks like crap and decided to redo it.

 

[Jdinh04]

Are you going to sell some of your plants? I see a big blop of java moss to the right of the tank that I might be interested in.

Like Phil said and one more thing what if you replace the stem plants for more echinodorus instead of redoing? I really like the way discus and swords look.

I like way the swords and discus look together too but i think my new scaping idea is much better. Trust me the tank looks like crap in person and it is just time for a change. BTW my big blue discus is getting too big and i am looking to sell him. Anyone that is in Minnesota that is interested pm me.

Here are some pics of the big guy.

One of the rules of Nature aquarums is if you don't like it redo it so I don't blame you! do what you think is best!

Nice shots of your discus, they look really healthy.

 

[avolcoma]

Thanks Jdinh
I need to get rid of him because he is getting too big and is picking on the other little ones. I plan on getting a bigger tank once the Heckles get biger but i dont have the cash to start up a new one right now. It seems like i never have any doe!!!

 

[avolcoma]

Do you guys have any suggestions or scaping ideas for when i redo my tank?

 

[avolcoma]
