Great set of links Carol. I've learned so much by going through a good portion of them. Thank you!!
You're welcome ;D
Hi Carol--My favorite tips from you: using the pre-filter sponge and wiping down the tank sides and bottom using paper towels.

Wow! This is great, Carol! Less time searching and more time learning - awesome!
Hello All
Great information - thank you Carol.
I bought my 55gal discus tank yestersday!
I have washed everything, filled the tank, conditioned the water and are now almost ready to add fish.
How long should I wait before I can add Discus in my new tank?
Will 6 juveniles fit comfortably?
Should I test the water for anything before adding fish? If so, what should I test and what should it meassure?
Can I keep any other fish with my discus? A pleco?
I would like to eventually breed my fish - but for now I'd just like them to all survive their new environment. Any other tips?
Thank you,
Yvette
Hi Yvette and welcome to SimplyDiscus
You must cycle yoru filter before you add the discus. Here is a link http://forum.simplydiscus.com//index...;threadid=6357
6 juveniles will do fine all by themselves in a bare bottom 55 gallon with a fully cycled filter.
Read through the stickied topics in the beginner section too. IF you have more questions you may want to start a new thread
