    Excuse the ignorance - how are you able to do that? No chlorine? Do you have a filter of some kind for the whole house? Thanks!!

    Sorry I meant, no aging etc. I just treat the water with safe/prime as it goes in.

    I too use tap water. I have an under counter filter which removes chlorine. Than into the tank. No prime just water.

    Just an update on the tank guys.

    The tank is getting well established now. Bio media is strong, new growth on plants and battling diatoms 😅. The fish are doing extremely well and have just added a yellow raffelsia, red raffelsia and golden snakeskin .
    I had to add another wave maker to cover the full width of the tank, so it blows all detritus into the weir intake. I usually only have to spot vacuum a couple times a week where the flow is blocked by pots.

    Tank looks majestic mate! Where do you buy your discus in Brissy? I live in Ohio, USA, but lived in Brissy for 31 years. My folks live on Nth Straddle still.

    No where decent in Brissy. They all come from Sydney - ‘Oz Discus’ they’re called.
