High TDS

[Gixxert]

Hi my name is Terry and i am new to SD and Discus all together. I have been in the aquarium hobby for 30 years and have had almost everything you can think of. Right now I have a 375 Gallon marine FOWLR tank but Discus have caught my attention and peaked my interest.

My question is. I live in Ontario Canada and my TDS is in the range of 600 PPM. I am wondering if that is to high to grow out young discus? I do have a RODI unit but would love to use tap water for a change.

Thanks in advance Terry.

For growing out that will work great! You would only need the RO unit if breeding.

Thank you so much for you reply. Thats awesome! No RO water for a change:)

I have your water-tried it full strength;not so good. Now I use 50/50 to get down to under 300ppm. The angels,discus and plants thank me everyday.
