God I love discus in this color. The bumble bee look with the neon blue outer portion, and red freckles is gorgeous.

Aquaponic system! I love it! If you lead the water through an external plant bed with stronger or daylight, it`s more effizient and you can grow some salad and vegetables.😉

That’s the average temp of the Amazon River. 82f-86f average. 76f at lowest and around 92f at hottest. All South American fish from the Orinoco, and Amazon prefer those temps.

What's the temperature where you live? I ask that because of your insulation needs. I live in the beach in tropical weather. Wondering if I might need to insulate much.

@@Piscinarius My friend , in life at list everything has double quotes , whatever you do : any movement , any actions .I'm - 61, I have some life experience . An example : when you prepared discus food - it's good , but you have missed wright amount of a gelatin . Or you cook and you forgot to add some other ingredient , a spice and it will not fit your desire ! That you understood as a tip , was look at everything at list from two positions . To look to the end of this video to me was not difficult , it was interesting , once I as well have added wrong amount of gelatin . I like your fishes as well , Where can I buy them , if I decide to keep this kind of discus ? I'm located in Montreal , Canada . Good luck and be wiser next times !!!

@invaderjoshua6280 2 жыл бұрын

Thinking the same thing. Maybe he wants more even water temps through the whole system. Also discus like super hot water which is low in oxygen. Water may lose to much oxygen by the time it’s in the tank.

Way to much over the top and money that never needed to be spent , ive seen many discus tanks with far less equipment than this and those discus and the owners were very happy, had i not seen the discus i would have thought it was a video on marines , This is someone who obviously has more money than sense and they wonder why so many new to the hobby stay well away from keeping discus, after watching this who can blame them

@triplumberelectro8611 4 ай бұрын

I can tell you that a mixed reef tank is way more expensive and difficult to achieve. This setup is far from over the top. I'm looking to start a 120 gallon discus aquarium. Similar to this videos setup. With kessil lights and the aquarium having low iron glass. So the discus can glow more. I'm looking to spend 4000 on the tank/equipment. And another 2000 on the discus and rummy nose tetras. A full on reef tank of the similar size would cost 15k minimum.
