UV STERILIZER IN A DISCUS TANK

Well i am so glad i bought that uv sterilizer from ebay it was £29 plus £6 postage worth every penny they should cost arround £60. I can now leave the lights on 10 hours with no algae problems at all as i have a huge window in my front room i could only have the lights on for 6 hours a day and still had problems with algae. Since putting the uv in i hav'nt cleaned the glass once and the water is crystal clear the unit is internal and made by fish r fun. I know you have to change the bulbs every 6 months at a cost of £12 but its well worth it because it also kills disease so no more medications to buy.

NEW LOOK TANK

Well the tank is looking much better now i have bought some catfish and 6 clown loaches added some bogwood. I have only got six discus now i kept the best ones. I have also bought a uv sterilizer so i can leave the lights on a bit longer without getting algae problems. Pictures show new look of tank with different background also a picture of the uv steriliser. Plus some pictures of the discus as they are growing very fast.

THEN THERE WAS ONE

I have sold one of my tanks as the hobby had turned into a full time job with all the maintenance and water changes. Now i only have the one rio 400 i can sit back and enjoy the discus and that also means when i buy anything i only have to buy one so it will save me money to. I will still keep up the water changes but i only have 8 discus as i sold 2 i plan to get 4 catfish to help with the cleaning. Also i have put a thin layer of fine gravel in and 3 lumps of bogwood as its more pleasing on the eye.
