Substrate - 0,2-0,7mm fine sand.
Filtration/circulation - external filter Eheim 2260 2400l/h, Aquael powerhead 1100l/h, internal filter Fluval 600l/h.
Inhabitants are nine wild caught Heckel Discus, ten Corydoras Sterbaii, one L144 Ancistrus sp. and finally one L333 Hypancistrus sp.

You stockholmers..
Looks great as Daniel mention ( in his words)
The problem with at big tank like your´s is that there is room for more wilds.

Re: Heckel Discus - The Movie
Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate your comments!
Poddan... I know... *sigh*.. Talked to Kaj the other day when we where at his place and he told me he's planning on bringing some new wilds in in september. If I manage to keep the water to their needs and these heckels still are doing well at that time, I think I'll go for five or six more heckels.
