My Discus Tank

[Dan Crawford]

Thanks for the kind words folks 🙂

The unipac rocks... are they hollow ?

No Mate they are just massive bits of black Lava, if you look closely in the top left there is an artificial rock siliconed to the braces, this is "Okiishi Rock" used here,

It's good stuff, it's currently hiding my overflow. My intention is to add more around the top but it's tough now that it's full of water LOL

What rocks are they??

It's Black Lava from Unipac, your local MA or World of Water can generally order it for you 😉

Out of curiosity, how come discus are kept at 28c+ when it's my understanding in the wild they're normally found at around 23-25c according to Heiko?

I don't know buddy but they definitely get grumpy if it drops below 26.

This tank looks amazing Dan, loving the hardscape to plant ratio. Its a nice change.

Great stock too 🙂

hey guys, this particular tank was broken down to make way for a proper planted tank whilst I had the time as it's out of race season. Here's the step-by-step video, I hope you enjoy it....
