Sinkin awesome!!! Food for thought. A little more sand ( 1 inch) will definitely help with bio load and aesthetic. The rays love to bury themselves on occasion too. Your current is powerful! The awowanas were being blown back a lit...lol. You understand most of us are living off your efforts right..lol. I don't think I will ever get a chance to get a tank that big. Are you going to more Discus in the future? I am generally not a fan but darn they look awesome with your mix of fish! Last,but not least, when the tank clears up it will be a jaw dropper.

BEUTIFUL!! But just notice how some of your discus are stunt u should definitely get some big size discus in that tank they will look beautiful !

I feel that I just set up my fifth tank a 20 long and went to weeks without adding fish just dosing prime and stability. Finely added 7 Julii Cory’s to start with. Looking to get a couple hillstream loaches if my lfs still has them and then either glow light, cardinal, neon, emperor tetras and possibly cherry barbs instead. I enjoy filling the layers in the tank but I didn’t want to go overboard 😂 it was either 7 Cory’s or a school of one of those so I decided Cory’s are probably better for cycling. I have spare sponge filters in my other tanks so it’ll be getting some established bb today.

Awesome tank Kave man. I used bio booster bacteria to help with setups of new tanks . Fluval brand works really good.

Blanco is MAJESTIC!

Nice dream tank, KaveMan!! I thought of doing the exact same! Have you considered doing africans Cichlids with Discus? Its never been done before successfully!

The discus look so small in that massive tank. Easily one of the best tanks I’ve ever seen. Makes me want to upgrade

I use API Aqua essentials and Quick Start

Kev, Wow brother that 450 looks awesome those discuss will get so big and fill out in there. You need a few more red head tapajos in that tank. I believe in if it can be done I will try. I have a red devil female in a tank with my green Severum and gold severum and JD female and a green terror and a chocolate cichlid. They all get along great and do have some attitudes every now and than but they don’t hurt each other. I recently added 10 Buenos Aires tetras as dither fish in my 90 ish gal tank. The tetras love it in there and the big cichlids don’t mind them. Appreciate this video man. So what is the 150 turning into? Hmm 😊

Oh wow! I'm getting a 200 litre for my living room next week- nothing like yours but still, I’m so excited 😊😊😊😊

If your having problems catching the fish, instead of chasing them back and forth-up and down, get a piece of acrylic or a sheet of that plastic grid looking egg crate stuff and trim it down. Then use the nearly tank size sheet to contain them and funnel them to the net. Much much faster, easier, and less stress on the fish.

@KaveManAquatics

Discus won’t bother the rays. It’ll be the rays getting on top of the discus by trapping them down and attempting to swallow them in their 0.5-.75 inch mouths from experience The setup looks great

Hi there I have a question I'm setting up a 140g tank and I put new substrate but the water is very cloudy I did rinse the substrate but it being 3 days and water haven't clear up at all any subjection to my issue

In the saltwater world there are many who have micro algae in a chamber in their sump (refugium) you could for example have gubby grass in a chamber to absorb nitrate. Tunze makes a special refugium light and if you have it on at night, the plants make oxygen for the aquarium. it could be a good experiment and maybe even extend the days between water changes.
