        Looks nice for me, the semi circle tanks are excellents show tanks.
        Just one suggestion: do not mix angel with discus and less if you got small discus as tankmates.
        Also please could you post a short description of your setup?

            +1 i would reccomend moving the angel to another tank. for several reasons. Aggression and parasites.
            People who stand for nothing will fall for everything.


            30 cube ( Hi tech planted)(for sale)
            29 bio cube (reef)
            20 cube (kids tank)

                  Not sure the exact size of the tank. I calculated the dimesion and the volume equals to about 62 gal.

                  I got these guys along with the angels from a friend. I don't think he had any problem with the fishes . I'm pretty much new to discus so any comments, advices are welcomed.

                  Not much going on with the tank right now. Just have a Ehiem 2117 setup with 3 level of media. Leslie's pool filtered sands ( thinking about changing it out to some black and whites sands). Some cheap t8 fixtures from home depot. Looking from a higher temp bulbs since the current ones making the water too yellowish. Gonna add a powerhead soon.

                    Angels are more agressive feders and also Angels can carry diseases that discus are prone to catching because they are not as amune as most other fish. But use your common sense dude, you got a couple of 100's in discus stock and a couple of $$$ in angels, believe me.... you don't want your discus sick because they are not easy to cure.
