    Those red absolutely pop with color and the black accent on their fins makes them so beautiful. Discus are always to me seem majestic and regal in nature. Angelfish have that same nature. However the tank does look great and in the future videos is should become even more beautiful.

    Looks good! For your lid i think you could take a small strip of plexi and glue it down the middle, by reinforcing it and making it “double thickness” it may stop the bowing. Works in woodworking!

    Hey MD, long time fan. Wife surprised me with a Timmy shirt for my birthday and I wore it to grad school in New Orleans 😂 had a lot of people ask about it.
    You could combat that curling by adding a support in the middle of the tank. Wouldn’t need to be much could even be a thin piece of the plastic you had before running from the back to front. Obviously anything strong but thin would work.

    Just an observation.
    The Biomaster filters have locking mechanisms (see the latches below the inlet and out flow hoses and pre-filter). When twisted these isolate the hoses allowing you to disconnect the hoses completely and work without getting water over your floor.

    I use a big ice cream tub to transport larger fish from aquarium to aquarium. It's a trick I used mainly for moving big plecos... or anything else with barbs and spines that can get trapped in nets. But it works perfectly well with discus as well, just so long as it's deep enough for them to be able to remain upright. Totally stress-free transportation, because once you click the little lid on, there is no chance of them jumping out.

    With the inlet & outlet out of the water, you can drain the remaining water in the pipes by unlocking the inlet/outlet on the filter and manually twist underneath to release the water. Just remember to twist it back before fitting it back on the filter.
