Wild ROYAL Discus Nature Aquarium of 200x60x70cm at Twinstar EU

Wild Royal Discus H&C Nature Aquarium of 200x60x70cm at Twinstar EU headquarters in Portugal.
Layout and aquarium were designed specifically for the Discus, less hardscape and more empty area to give space for the Discus to swim. Plants are not yet at their best shape but as soon they grow, they will fill some areas and leave shadow for them.
From the day it was scaped till the date when Discus were added, we have 3 weeks of cycle to avoid any issues. Discus have been in quarantine for one month at A Casa dos Discus in Lisbon to prevent diseases and give us time to build and have the layout proper cycled to add them.
AQUARIUM has 200x60x70cm with 5cm all round the top for protection, made by ILA in 15mm optiwhite glass.
Lighting system: 4x Twinstar 120b
Filtration is done by 2x OASE BIOMASTER 850 Thermo filter, plus one Eheim 350 skimmer to clean the surface.
Substrate no branded (later will be sold by Strideways), root tabs and ADA Colorado sand in the front.
Hardscape: Entwood and black lava stone glued with OASE Foamfix
CO2: Twinstar L diffuser and Strideways pressure reducer 2bps
Temperature: 26° C
Plants from Aquaflora:
Anubias barteri var. nana, Anubias barteri var. nana 'Mini', Anubias barteri var. nana 'Paxing', Helanthium bolivianum 'Magdalenensis', Helanthium tenellum, Hygrophila pinnatifida, Cryptocoryne parva, Cryptocoryne pygmaea, Cryptocoryne albida (costata), Cryptocoryne x willisii, Cryptocoryne usteriana, Echinodorus 'Rosé', Echinodorus 'Tricolor', Echinodorus uruguayensis, Juncus repens, Potamogeton gayi and Schismatoglottis prietoi.
Livestock: Wild Royal Discus H&C, Corydoras panda, Mikrogeophagus Ramirezi German Blue (my own breeding), Paracheirodon axelrodi and Hyphessobrycon amandae.

All details about this aquascape are in the video's description. 😉

Still we will ask our own share of questions 😂

[@NoNo-ce8xb]

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!

[@CharlesLales]

Black background, black lava rocks, white sand and especially intense driftwood.. super setup for such nice fishes ;-)

[@FAAOAquascaping]

We get a lot of contrast, right?

[@CharlesLales]

@@FAAOAquascaping Yes, it is nice effect! Filter -> Oase or? Lights -> no idea, impact a lot on result as well. If you're curious: www.charleslales.com/hobbies/fishkeeping/my-tanks You'll can understand why and how I appreciate your setup ;-)

[@FAAOAquascaping]

The setup is in the video's description. All info is there, check it out 😉

[@CharlesLales]

@@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? How do you compromise between (wild) discus and plants? Temperature, conductivity.. do you prepare with Osmose water? For such big tank, do you know these CO2 reactor from Germany? jdaquatec.de/UNSERE-PRODUKTE/

[@huangjin800]

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

[@rlon36]

You are definitely my favorite aquascaper

[@rikscichlidaddiction25]

I gotta say thi is one of the nicest set ups I've have ever seen. Good job.

[@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.

[@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.

[@jolantakrystyna1220]

It's stunning!!! In this case less means better!!!🤩🤩🤩

[@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]

@@FAAOAquascaping gotcha! Thanks!

[@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!

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. ;-)

It's not a problem of time... It's an healthy issue and will take a bit longer than expected. I lost my voice in June, I got surgery, they discovered two main cancers and I'm fighting now to kill them...this is the big problem! No idea when I will be back.

Amazing mr, from indonesia

[@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.

I am curently building a Asian Blue tank that is modled off of this look ... I think its just amazing ! i wont be using Black lava sadly . will be putting eliphant skin stone in its place . P.S. How many Tetras are in the tank ?

[@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.

[@zenattitude-relaxandmedita5000]

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.
