I have been running this room as a fishroom since 2010 and only had 2 miff areas when we cleared out the previous racks. A good scrubbing of...
Sold off a lot of fish and have basically only retained discus adults and angels for breeding stock. All the 1.2m's will be used as grow-out tanks.

Just a point there about the media 'drying' out. This is actually the advantage of a wet dry filter. If the media is submerged ( like in a sump or...
Lets face it, when it comes to a discus tank, running a sump and trickle filter is first choice, but Broder seems to need to make do with what he...
Indeed it is.......and guess where he got the bulk of his discus from........
