| Beleive it or not i just got tired of the feeding and maintaining the tank, sold everything. Feeding high protein foods like shrimp, beefheart, smelts, freeze dried krill just add to water changes and at least 2 50% water changes weekly min. I just wanted to get back to pellets and few red worms once and while. I'll always be watching for some black rays at a good price but for now as my wife puts it a pretty tank is nice for a change.....lol |

I can upload no problems, must be on your end. How are you trying to upload? _________________ "There he goes - one of God's own prototypes - a high powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die".

| Very nice set up! I will be interested in any baby angels you might encounter in the future. I keep discus and angels as well(Seperate tanks though) and got 20 discus in my 210. The filtration is massive so I know exactly what you are working with.
What are your PWC's schedule like with this one? Using RO?
I do a 50% every 3rd day on the discus tank and 50% weekly on the angels. |
