Now to go the point here.
When breeding Discus the ph become secondary to the GH, KH. you should go for a GH of 4 degrees ,so basically you multiply by 17 each degree to get the ppm, the ph under 7.5 for domestics is good like aim for 7.2 and ideal a 6.8 to 7.0 . Perhaps the easy way to do is through TDS although is a rough estimated of your hardness is easier now days with a portable TDS meter. I aim for 75 in TDS but up to 100 is usually good. I add like to add 2/3 RO to 1/3 tap water since I leave near the beach and my tap water is really hard.
around 300 TDS.
Find your sweet spot , and maintain it constant, do the WC when you start to see the motions of courtship, same water parameters just a cooler temperature, to replicate a rain in the wild.
This is what it works for me . I hope it can help you.
what I recommend for you to do get a TDS meter and check your water, do the daily WC and bring it every day slowly to the TDS desired like a 75 mean will be good.
