how many tetras are in the tank ? i didnt find that info

[@iamthanatos1986]

Dear Felipe, you were influencial in my aquascaping journey. I'll never forget you. Salamat!

[@libardo-kb5gs]

Very nice tank, for me Natural Discus are the best... thanks for sharing.

[@huangjin800]

This is the best discus landscape and Discus I have seen.

[@simonetonini2538]

Glad to see you healthy and happy to see your work again on the channel. This tank is a perfect balance between the plants and the empty space for the fish to swim and to be enjoyed.

[@FAAOAquascaping]

Thanks Simone. Things are finally getting back to normal, including my health situation. I will bring more content very soon.

[@darrenderousse4804]

So glad you’re back Felipe! This is stunning! I love you way you used negative space! That and the black background make the big school of cardinal tetras pop! Can’t wait to see this mature! World class!!

[@FAAOAquascaping]

Black background is more because of the Discus, they don't like bright colors in the back. Of course, the black will enhance all the colors 😉

[@darrenderousse4804]

[@waterlover]

I live this setup , the layout is superb. What beautiful discus fish

[@jonwebb5241]

Glad to see you! This layout is beautiful. Just my favorite style- bold, simple, natural. Plenty of swimming room for the big guys.

[@FAAOAquascaping]

Thanks Jon. This one was created for the livestock and not the opposite. Plants still need to grow and fill a bit some spaces and get volume, but you can have an idea... Will stay simple and full of free scape for them.

[@sofishticated289]

Very nice fish selection and great hard scape composition. A lot of people over estimate the size of Discus and by the way they rarely grow 20+cm. If these Discus were over 20cm long (mouth to tail), three fish above each other would be enough to reach from the sand to the water surface. Just imagine how huge these fish would look. The Discus in this tank are already very beautifull but will become even more beautyfull when they are well fed and don't look so skinny any more. Enjoy them!

[@CEROTOPHRYS]

What a fabulous set-up. Beautiful Discus.

[@PedroMoraisPedroMorais3322]

Love it!!! Absolutely gorgeous! The layout, the discus blueish hues with the cardinals against that black, it's just amazing! All that inside a room, one puff and a tea... Pure relaxation!

[@FAAOAquascaping]

They are far away from what they can become. For a fish that is for about 4h in a tank, they were already very good. 😉

[@PedroMoraisPedroMorais3322]

No doubt, they were already showing great potential 🙂

@@FAAOAquascaping Hi, yes you're right sorry, all data are here ;-) Setup is sponsored by Twinstar: lights good, but CO2 enough for such tank volume?

Now I remember you. I saw you in another channel with some oriental guy who was giving a seminar on setting up tanks. I think he is an aqua scape champion. Good to see you shy.

[@FAAOAquascaping]

I'm not shy at all, probably I was a bit tired by traveling, setting the tank and have this done fast to move to another maintenances. This tank is not close to my home town, so I spend more time traveling than scaping it. Recording something in these conditions is always tough, sometimes we aren't in the mood to do it. ;-)

Obrigado Renan

[@priyankardas2668]

Extremely well made video. Lots of cinematic clips and music makes it a treat to watch. Discuss looks great and are schooling nicely. I was finally glad to see the backside of planting where you had used small echinodorus and juncus repens together to create a nice carpeting effect. The last plant in your description, which is 'Schismatoglottis prietoi' would take few months of practice for me to pronounce correctly 😂 One small question though...The Helanthium Bolivianum Magdelenensis is densely planted by you. I think it shoots runners and fills up the tank. Do we need to plant heavily from start or will it gradually grow dense over time? 'Obrigado mestre, Você é o melhor' ( Hope I got that right 😁)

[@FAAOAquascaping]

To pronounce that I will need a few weeks... It is even worse that 'magdalenensis' 😅 (that isn't difficult, I just had a blackout 😂)

[@priyankardas2668]

@@FAAOAquascaping I had searched the Magdelenensis plant in my country. Finally found out the 'echinodorus quadricostatus' is the other name...so I don't worry much now. But with the new plant you used, I guess it will break my teeth to pronounce it...I'll get some anubias instead 😂

[@FAAOAquascaping]

That one is though... I still can't pronounce it.

Bu tankta su değişimi ne kadar zamanda ve ne ölçüde oluyor acaba. Ben de bir Discus sever ve besleyeni olarak merak ettim. Ben Discusları boylandırırken bazen günde iki defa su değişimi yaptığım oluyor. Böyle bir tankta bu sanırım pek olası değil. Ne tür yemlerle besleyip temizliğini yapıyorlar merak ettim. Discus güçlü bir balık ama su değerlerinin bozulmasına da son derece duyarlı.

Hi sir! Very nice work. Appreciate your work! What kind of filtration do you use on that tank? Do you use oxygen? Can you make us a tour on what pumps you use please?

[@FAAOAquascaping]

In this thank we have 2 Oase biomaster 850 thermo filter and two diffusers, one for CO2 (just a little bit is used) during photoperiod and when lights are off it's used oxygen. Will be difficult to give you a tour in this one because the aquarium is not so close to my hometown... More than 350km.

[@martinsokac2392]

Filipe, this is the most beautiful discus tank in the world... I would be happy to have mine half such nice... I have tried to built mine tank inspired with yours one, and I hope, you dont mind... The tank is ready now and I got a fear, the higher temperature will kill my plants... Do you have some news about this one, if it runs in this perfect condition after a year? Thanks and build another such perfect tanks, please.

[@FAAOAquascaping]

From what the customer told me, the tank is running well. The temperature on it of of 27°C, max 27.5°C and all plants are doing really well, they were selected based on that temperature. If you run your tank with Discus from 27-27,5C is perfect for both.

[@FAAOAquascaping]

I think close to 100 of each. It's a 200x60x70cm tank, plenty of space for them for schooling and swim together in big group. Discus will make them group and look even more spectacular.

[@josecarlosarroyo3480]

An excellent video, like all yours. I have 2 questions. What foam do you use to seal the rocks and roots? How is the support of the Twinstar 120B?

[@FAAOAquascaping]

I have used OASE Foamfix and I haven't used the brackets of the Twinstar 120B, they are just placed in the side protection glass and middle one, 2+2

[@josecarlosarroyo3480]

​@@FAAOAquascaping Yes, I saw that you had removed the brackets. And I had the impression that they rest on the protection glass. Are they just resting? can't move? Those lights are excellent if we know where to use them

In this one I think we are using a 18kg bottle. But I'm not going there for months, so I don't know if it was replaced by something smaller. 2kg bottle maybe last 2..3.months since we are not dosing so much CO2 in this tank.

[@ladislavcech935]

[@MarcosVinicius-dp1cb]

Olá Felipe. Gosto muito de acompanhar o seu trabalho. Sou do Brasil e tenho muita vontade de montar um aquário igual ao que você fez. Queria fazer duas perguntas: as plantas utilizadas são de baixa demanda de luz? Pergunto, pois a altura é de 70cm e nessa altura, se não me engano, a luz tem dificuldade de acessar. A outra dúvida é com relação a aclimatação. Somente os discos você adicionou 3 semanas depois ou os outros peixes também foram nesse prazo? Seria possível adicionar os tetras no dia seguinte a montagem?

[@FAAOAquascaping]

Este aquário não tem iluminação muito forte, embora sejam leds, são 4 calhas da Twinstar da linha de entrada e de menor potência. As plantas foram escolhidas para uma iluminação moderada/baixa até porque a idea é não estar a podar muitas vezes para não stressar os Discus. Os peixes pequenos entraram uma semana antes dos Discus, foram desparasitados uma vez que os Discus já estavam na loja e reservados em sistema à parte. Infelizmente os discus foram devolvidos à loja um mês depois, não porque apresentavam algum problema, mas sim porque não foram os que o cliente queria desde o início. É pena porque adorei os peixes, mas o cliente é que sabe... Agora estamos a aguardar que os novos Discus estejam bem a climatizados para serem colocados no aquário.

For my experience Discus prefer darker backgrounds where they can refugee in case of stress. I never had good experiences with white background, too bright for them... But in the end it depends if they were breed in that scenario or are used to that. I always have used black backgrounds for them.
