    I love the aquarium, the hardscape, the planting, the lighting, the filtration, the wall divider idea, and the Discus do look very calm and at home. I also love the emerging plants all giving it a very natural jungle look about it.
    If I had one criticism to make, take a look at one or two of the actual Discus. Especially the one to the front left at 2 minutes in to the video. It looks quite 'pinched' around the centre of its body, and the stress bars are evident. So I'm guessing it is a very old fish, or it is just not getting enough food, or has an illness. But I'm splitting hairs here, overall it is a beautiful setup. 😍 👌👏

      Olá amigo, parabéns o sistema que você fez está maravilhoso.
      Caso aceite uma sugestão você precisa passar os seu peixes Discus por uma quarentena de vermífugo cão eles estão escuros e magros por causa dos vermes eu sou do Brasil e tenho estes peixes.
      É necessário fazer um tratamento com Metronidazol, Levamisol e permanganato de potássio para que os peixes fiquem saudáveis.

    Wow, real nice, what about the water situation though? What is it out of the tap or well and do you do something to it to support the wild discus? Really cool and the colors are special.
    If you can get some reproduction going it will take it to next level, and I mean that as a blanket statement for every tank but this one especially. I disagree with the idea that blocking or sealing the under spaces is a good idea. Tetras would be a nice addition and like all the fish types if you can get them reproducing that would be next level. I am working on a hardscape where there will be like a pit that eggs can fall into and nothing big will get in. Really nice tank, to me I think it actually seems smaller than the real size it is, prolly cause I am looking at a screen, good dimensions though, and thanks, really nice and to top off my constructive? bitchiness if you had got like two males and like four females you'd have less fish but maybe more in a way.
