|  Perfect Setup? What would be the ideal tank setup for a discus tank with five or six discus or more maybe? I mean tank, filters, powerheads, plants(when older), substrate, CO2 injectors for plants, lighting, tank decorations? Multiple perspectives from people would be awesome.

| Don't worry your post will get seen, not everyone uses the new posts section, i don't. And a lot of people usually are in bed around 1am... With that said, its hard to say. What size discus? Adult discus? 10gals per fish, meaning 50-60gal. Any less gallonage and you will have to do water changes very often. More gallons is good. Substrate i prefer bare bottom or sand, easier to clean. All the rest are very minor aspects that really come down to personal preference and depend on how much maintenance you will want to do. You don't need fancy equipment to keep discus, just some TLC and clean water. Plants require more fancy equipment then discus.

| I really want to go to that Auction, but getting there would be difficult considering i work 5:30am to 1:30pm on the 25th. And it's a few hour trip.

| From what I can tell, as long as you stay consistant on your water, you should be fine.

| Sweet deal and as for the 1 AM thing I only sleep two hours maybe a day. For some reason I don't really get tired until 2ish and get up around 4-4:30ish. So, I'm a little impatient and forget other people actually sleep. Opps.
