3 How does the discus do with the angels...since both are chiclids I hear you ocassionally run into problems unless the discus is larger. I had one angel and 4 discus and he would always be more aggressive during feeding, so the discus would wait for food to drop rather than eat from the feeding cones. Once I got rid of the angels they all come to the cone for food.
5. What ferts are you giving and how often as they start to grow more aggresively?
6. How long did it take to get your temp back up in that tank after the power failure and how much did it drop? (at least it was during the summer, good for fish but bad for you and AC)

Do trim the plants weekly now since they really started taking off. Going to have to start selling/giving cuttings away, running out of room in the other tanks.
Sadly I lost the discus. Was doing good then all of a sudden just dropped. He was up at the top feeding all the time with the angels. I think he was lonely as he was the only one. But never could find any healthy enough that I wanted to get.
The angels, I have gotten rid of all but two, need to say no when someone in the club wanted a couple.
For ferts been using Rex's dry ferts and dose every other day. Not heavily though as there is no co2 and still not high light. But still do 50% water change each week. I also put fert tabs under the swords. Most of them doing good except for one which just sits there and not growing. May toss it and get another ozelot sword for that side.
The power outage actually was in December and just that one room so it didn't affect the big tank, Used a lot of extension cords to the other tanks to keep them going and also put a room heater in the fish room. It turned out to be the aluminum wiring in this house and all the electrician had to do was to tighten the wiring to the breaker. Wish we could afford to have house rewired with good wiring but it would cost about 15000 to do it.
I'll get some updated pics up soon so everyone can see how much it has grown.
