3. Because of the of the feeding you need lots of water changes. I suggest 50% daily in most situations.
4. Discus do much better in groups of at least 6.
5. Buy healthy discus....i.e. not from your local fish store and damned sure not from a big box store.
6. Temp should be set to 82 degrees.
7. I am sure I have forgotten something so the list may continue to grow.....
