I have a 75 gallon Aquarium:
Planted tank, medium planted, for right now.

Water Changes: 1 every other day, 25-50%

Heating: 2 150 watt heaters

Filters:Bio-Wheel 300, Bio wheel 125, and whisper 20, i'm going to try and get a fluval within a month or two.

Substrate: Pea Gravel and Flourite

Ph: 7.4 Stable, Tap water 7.4

Ammonia:0

Nitrite:0

Nitrate: Not sure, but the plants, water changes, and evaporation, should take care of that.

Lighting: Low until i get my new lighting system (saving up for it)
There is Co2

Decorations:Driftwood, zaire root, and live plants
Other fish: 8 cories, 1 farlowella, 1 clown pleco (max 4-5inches), 1 SAE, that i can't get out of the tank, 1 Botia, that i can't get out of the tank.

So my question is with this how many discus can i have in this tank?

Hi Adam

6 or 7 adult size Discus would work well.

I would not put small ones in a planted tank, they do not grow at the best rate in planted tanks.

Last with adults at 10 gallons each, You would be fine with 25% water changers.

Cleaning a planted tank is no fun, I would think on this some.
