Thanks! Lucky I have an endless local supply of manzanita :)
You should buy a pressure washer and go into business.

Or don't, but just send some to me :)

looking great, looks like you created a pretty maintenance free setup. Which for discus really is a feat.
Thanks! It really is nice to do daily water changes by just sitting on the couch and watching :D

Those switches are legit!
Thanks! I got so tired of unplugging and plugging equipment during water changes. No more of that!

Wow! I hope you're very proud of yourself, what a great job! Not only was this an incredible DIY job with a great build thread, but the tank and fish are beautiful.

Ha! I actually tried to sell a few pieces just to test the waters. Not enough interest and too much of a hassle boxing those pieces up to consider doing it for money. Maybe if somebody wanted one large order. But selling piece by piece is such a PIA!

Incredibly well built! I liked the detailed pics of the entire system from start to finish. The tank turned out excellent. Might be using this thread as a reference in the future.

Very stoked! Just received my new group of wilds about an hour ago. I purchased three large Alenquer semi-royal Blues from John/Snookn. These guys are beautiful! John had them labeled as blues but he said lately they've been looking very red. Who knows, but they do look very nice. Here's some pics in their QT tank which will be home for the next 4-6 weeks. I'll be watching them closely to see if I need to give them a de-worming.

On to some terrible quality photos

quarantine is such a good thing to with fish especially wild, but so hard to have a sweet tank like yours and not put them in for a month!

Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions along the way.

Man you have no idea! I'm really hating having to watch them in that ugly tank. And it's only been the first day! :nilly:
