I'd love to see your discus in your 10.

What kinds of Pleco's do you have ?

[tlyons01]

do you own, collect or build? or just admire from afar...

I have owned Triumphs in the past. Don't have any now. I was also a Triumph dealer in Indy for a couple of years (also carried Ducati, Moto Guzzi, Laverda, & ATK).

Sounds like a dream job, handling all of those different types of bikes... If you hear of anyone looking for Triumph parts, hit me up. We might have what they are looking for, you never know

You a Triumph man?

Alan my Uncle was a Polaris, Triumph dealer and general motorcycle mechanic in Chattanooga for over 40 years. You may have known him...Jamup's Cycle?

haha my husband, not me... I like bikes, not too particular on the type. Used to be a harley chic, then a rocket chic. These days I have respect for all types and am not too partial since I haven't ridden in years. My husband started to do a Triumph build a couple years ago, didn't touch it for at least the last year. He now is working on a soft tail rebuild and is looking to sell his Triumph parts..

I heard of him, David, but don't know him.

There's a pretty good market for nice Triumph parts. I just have a 2000 Excelsior Henderson now.

Rick,

Here's a shot of the discus in the 10. Just have one. I plan to make the Metaframe 55 a discus tank when I get around to setting it up.


Here are 2 of my Plecos:



And my featherfins (euruptus). These guys were about an inch long in November. Now they're 5 inches.

Cool room, what parameters and how often do you change water on discuss. I had a few pigeon bloods for a while, but ended up back on Africans for ease and action. I did 10-20% water changeable every other day and kept tank at 84 degrees pH was around 7.2-4

Jon,
The discus water is about 79-81 degrees. I do a 50% water change once a week (doesn't take long on a 10 gallon that's 3 feet from the sink!). pH is right at 7.2

Nice Alan ! Thanks for sharing !
