    Tuck is no longer here. I understand he gave up the hobby due to ill health.

    I have used the "Big Tuck" system on Angels with great results. Haven't had time to try it with my Discus yet.
    The YouTube videos are a great help.

    Hope someone can help,

    I have managed to raise discus artificially and use the coffee filter baskets together with a drip irrigation system (being part of a 100 liter tank) to create flow in the baskets.

    The problem is that many fry die for me....more than half actually....can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I use the air stone with yolk formula for the first couple of days and then BBS. Do you put in air stone for an hour and replace / remove it? or do u leave it in the water for a long period of time? Can it be i am feeding too much or too many fry in one basket??

    Would appreciate your help,

    Thanks,

    SGB

    After reading all the information in this thread "to this point" I noticed a ph level target of 5.9 to 6.5. My question is......how do you treat your water to obtain your ph target?
