    What test and results are you refering to?

    Keep us updated with pictures of him on a regular basis so you can prove that doing it your way works. You will show all of the experts that there are more than one way for a discus to grow well and be healthy.

    Yes but I wanted to know what tests you did, what were the results and why you think water changes are useless as a result.

    level of nitrate and ammonia is very low ( ~0.02 mg/l ) , the plant made some difference in my water quality , floating plant is growing strong after 1 week add in the tank .

    Little known fact: The correct name for The Amazon River is The Ammoniazon River but people found that too difficult to understand so it was changed. lol
