Hello everyone! How does this sound for a beginner discus (read noob) setup, I read all the stickies and think I got a good handle on everything.
55g Tank
55g Metal stand (cheap, and looks pretty nice)
Aquaclear 110 or 2 aquaclear 70s (?)
48 inch T5 or T8 single bulb light fixture
Fluval sponge prefilter on both intakes
bio media (ceramic rings) only in both and a 100ml bag of purigen in both
rinse bio media monthly with warm tank water
change/revive purigen every 3 months
bare bottom
daily 50% water changes
50ft of tubing with a pump for easy drain and refill
32g brute with wheel base thing
no heater I live in Hawaii, temp in my other tanks is always in the 80s
thermometer
6 juvi discus undecided on color/type ordered from a good breeder (Hawaii Discus any good?)
feed high quality frozen /flake sparingly multiple times a day
:D
