Honestly regan, so far I wish that it was upstairs so i could stare at it all day long. That tank has become one of my favorites! I have a couple that pair off, addictedtofish told me that they have spawned a few times (unsuccesfull though). So i am pretty pumped about that... already got the 30gal out, so i can plant it and use it as the breeding tank! Answer to your question then is that its definely worth doing. Wish I wouldve done a planted tank along time ago, and the discus are fun too!
