    Hi Asif and welcome to Simply. I think you will find keeping discus is different then keeping other fish. There is lots of good material in the stickie threads in the beginner section of the forum which makes a good starting place. Tell us where you are in your discus journey?

    Hi folks. I'm new here and I'm setting up a discus tank I'm converting my old reef tank (6x2x2) to discus and I'm here to learn from all of you.

    Thanks everyone.

    Hi and welcome to Simply discus Cooper 666 .
    That's a great tank size and volume to start with discus and you are at the right place to find a lots of useful info on this specific Fish . You can start off by watching the 80 minute discus video presentation in the stickie subjects at the begginer section.
    It's a video made by the Simply discus Owner and it has a ton of useful informations about everything you need to know about the discus upkeep .
    Discus are totally different if not opposite ball game than reefing so take your time on this forum to gradually change your mindset from reefer to discus keeper .
    Good luck .

    Thanks for the welcome Filip.

    I'm ready to learn. Yep reefing is different alright. I've chucked the live rock, skimmers and bright lights and swapped them out for a filter sock, cheap LED strip and a whole heap of bio filter media. I'm looking forward to a lest costly fish tank with simpler issues and easier solutions. I know discus are not easy but when the reef tank got in trouble fixing the problems were extremely difficult at times. At least this way I wont have to pay big $ just to do a water exchange.

    I'm very lucky in that my fave's are the good old turquoise and red turquoise. They are at the poverty end of the discus world I'm in Australia and should be able to pick up some nice 3-4inch fish for about $100 AU each. After reef keeping, a couple of grand on fish ain't so bad.

    I just want a nice display, the fish don't all have to be award winners, so long as they physically well formed, have heavy striations and nice colour I'm happy.

    Default Hi from the Netherlands!

    Hi all,

    My name is joost. I am the proud owner of 1 show aquarium 450l juwel.
    In here I have different corrys, and 10 discusses. I like to read a lot about keeping discusses because I think there is always someone who knows it better and can learn me something, so that's why I'm here. Excuse my English, I'm Dutch so I'll try to do my best but it's far from perfect.

    Hope to learn a lot here!

    Kind regards from the Netherlands

    Joost
