Mike’s Discus
Mike wanted to fulfil his dream to have a piece of the Amazon river at his living room. Him, LSL, and the tank maker created a South American tank that is easy to maintain.
MIKE’S TANK
Mike keeps 7 wild caught discus fish, 2 geophagus, various wild caught corydoras, and tetras. The fish are doing great. Mike doesn’t need to conduct too many water changes as his tank filtration is really good. He just enjoys the hobby.
LSL SOLUTION
LSL installed a Nitrate King and a Silicium bead king. The main return pump for the tank was chosen powerful enough to flow water through both LSL reactors. We used a T connection from the main pump system and added an extra T valve connection.
HOW OUR PRODUCT BENEFITS HIM?
Mike measures very low Nitrate levels. The perfect 0. Water changes he conducts 2-3 times per month.
He only has to recharge the Nitrate King every 4 weeks, which takes approx. 1.5 hours. The Silicium Bead King has to be back flushed every 4 weeks.
His tank has no issues with germs as if he was running a UV light. His Silicium Bead King does not consume any power, hence he can enjoy a low electricity/water bill.
“I am new in the hobby and from friends and fellow hobbyists I heard that South American Cichlids are very sensitive.
So I got the Silicium Bead King setup to prevent germs and bad bacteria grooming in my tank. Secondly I wanted to controll the Nitrate levels of my tank, therefore I purchased a Nitrate King.
LSL helped planning the setup. I am impressed with the products, and the excellent service”, Mike.
