Planning to have a discus tank with 6 discus about 3.5"-4". Tank size is 58 gallon with Fluval 405 and (2) ATI Hydro V filters. Planning to do 30% WC daily.
Below is my water parameters so my question are
(Q1)Why my aged water has higher PH than my tank water if I don't have any driftwood or peat in my tank?
(Q2)Should I age my water before each WC? (0.5 PH different)
(Q3)Should I add water conditioner before I add the AGED water into the fish tank?
(Q3)Is PH 8.0 too high to breed discus?
Curreny Tank
PH: 7.9 - 8.0
GH: 5 - 6 dkh
KH: 5 - 6 dkh
Tap Water
PH: 7.4
GH: 5 - 6 dkh
KH:6 dkh
Aged Water
PH: 8.0-8.2
GH: 5 - 6 dkh
KH: 6 - 7 dkh
Thank you in advance.
