Yeah they are on. I still don't have enough lighting in there though. I'll be adding a few flourescent bulbs latter. Another issue is my camera, its an old one and flash could not be turned offGuro;1330129; said:

arl;1239093; said:Well thats how many discus I have right now but maybe in 2-3 months I'll be taking out some of the runts and we'll see how many will be left. But they won't be fewer than 25. The ABS sheet comes in 4X8 feet. I bought them for $27 each and they're 1/16" thick. I originally thought of acrylic but when I saw this being tougher and only half the price of acrylic I went for it. I get the goop from work. I buy them at the price the company gets them, $47 a box of 12 tubes, but they're the same thing as the household, plumbers, or marine GOOP that you can get at wallmart. I actually used household goop on my first tank(settling tank), it's the cheapest but probably marine is teh best.Here's a pic of the goop that I used.
Hmmm I have a tube of this that is called the "Craft" type but it is the E-6000 clear and on the warning label it specificly states do not use near food, drinking water or animals......
Hopefully there is a difference between mine and yours but it "looks" exactly like the product in the picture....
Those 2 are exactly the same!!! Same packaging, same content.... Hold on ...... Gotta check if my fishes are still OK.............. Yep!! They're still good!!
I think even the "amazing goop" products are from the same makers if not teh same contents and it also says poisonous to animals or not to be used if it will be contact with food, but I've used that in my 4+, and counting, year old tank ... so far I have no issues. I think it is the same as the aquarium silicone, also made by GE but the windows and doors silicone can not say safe for aquarium use because it will kill the aquarium silicone brand, although they are safe and has the same contents. I admit though that when I saw that warning 4 or 5 years ago I didn't really payed attention to it.....Luckily it's not true...because it is safe for aquarium use

Well I am glad to hear that it has not had any negative effect on your fish but for me I think I will pass on using it. Hell I have killed some of my fish using a filter from a drinking water system so I am cursed to stay within the lines it seems.
Man, took me 3 days to finish reading this thread. Awesome project, although, I must admit it's a bit weird to see Discus with Aros, as some people have mentioned.
