Posted by living1978 on 04 July 2015 - 09:15 AM
Could not help myself , so made the trek last night and bought two more stingrays.. one male and one female... Amzing quality and very high grade "Third Generation 3 way Hybrids" Leopoldi x Mantilla X triplespot.
Hope everyone likes them , as im hooked and if anyone is looking for WOW factor in your tank.. Stingrays are it.
Thanks again Mark (Buccai).

#340880 Discus Popeye
Posted by living1978 on 25 June 2015 - 03:38 PM
Hi There,
Its a bacteria infection, usually starts as cloudy eye and then the eye can pop out.
I would do a 35% water change, wipe down all the sides of the tank in side before water change and add some bacteria medication and some Epson salts to the water.
I would then repeat again three days later... I wont feed the discus 2 per day and only once for a 5 day period.

Hi everyone,
I still have my display discus tank but this tank came up on gumtree and I had to have it.. 4.5f x 4.5f x 2.5ft. It was an old marine tank with 5 pre drilled holes for sump plus skimmer box at the back etc.
It sit on a black powered coated stand that weighs a tonne. It was a massive to task to lift as the bases is 20mm glass. I wanted to make sure I could get it plumbed up with the piping that that I could reuse again , when I move house etc.
Rovik came up with the design and did an amazing job ...its 2 returns, 2 drainage points plus another for overflow. also water changes are very easy and just one turn of the valve and a way it goes... also auto top up . High recommended Rovik to anyone that is looking for a design to plump up and set up tank, sump etc.. very smart and does a PERFECT job. Thanks again.
The sump has the two inlets with two micros socks ( a lot easier to clean)...
poreat foam three layers.
plus K1 in one compartment.
6500 litre pump
2 eheim heaters
For the lids I used 10mm clear polycarbonate sheets that I bought from bunnings . every easy to use and easy to cut to how I wanted them.
I have since added white washed sand from soils an it soils, some granite rocks, some ornaments I kindly bought from VooDoo and delivered them for me. thankyou and kept it very simple ,
So far I have.
2 saratogas, 1 x 40cm plus ( THE BOSS) 1 x 25 cm
2 Stingrays 3 ways-- 1 pup and one 25cm one.
6 Massive X large silver dollars
6 Massive Tin foil Barbs
2 peacock bass
1 green terror
1 Texan
So far everyone is doing really well and getting along great.....The boss chases only a few of the fish around and small saratoga actually challenges the bid fells for the food.
So here are some pics
