Hi,
I keep wild discus.
I change my water weekly using local tap water that is 20ppm.
Every week, my TDS will increase in between water change. For eg, after my last water change, my TDS drops to 190ppm and mysteriously increases to 210ppm in a few days.
The only input I have into the tanks are hikari dried worms and frozen bloodworm.
I want to go down to 50ppm but don't want to do major water change to shock the fish.
Why would the ppm mysteriously increase? What should I do now to try to bring it down to 50ppm from 210ppm?
HELP
