It all depends on your goals. What size fish do you plan to start with ?is your goal to grow out a group of juvies? Are you just looking to have a nice discus tank and start with a little bit bigger fish? When you day growout are you talking a 2" growout or 3"-4"?
They do require pristine water but they are not as hard to keep as it may seem. If you are commited to doing daily or possibly every other day, depending on stocking and sizes then you should have no issue
