Hello - I am also a member at plantgeek.net. I have kept and bred various African cichlids for almost about 8 years now (all my African tanks have always looked the same - very natural which is a black background, sand, and granite boulders) and I recently wanted to do something different so I set up a 55g and decided to get some discus and grow some plants.
I currently have 3.5 WPG and have two 2-liter bottles for yeast fermentation, soon to be four bottles. I am planning on having around 20 species of plants in my tank and I have some beautiful discus that I hand feed and hand pet daily. They are such amazing fish. I've been so much into this tank that I spend probably 3 times with it than I do with my beloved 55g Tanganyikan community tank.
I am in the process of setting up a 10g nano-reef, and hoping to get some seahorses! I just filled the tank with sand and water today and going to be doing research for it before I start stocking with anything. I'll have 4 WPG of 50/50 light in the tank and am hoping to have some mushrooms and soft corals.
Well that's about it for now, I guess I will start a thread for my planted tank soon and update with pictures as the tank progresses. Right now I only have 7 species in the tank but I have an entire jungle's worth of plants coming to me next week
