so I have a 300 gal and a 250. connected through the filter. this filter consists of a 70 gal, and 2 100 gal rubber maid stock tanks. the 70 contains heaters, bio balls, 600 pot scrubbies, some egg crate and on top of that bonded dacron for filter floss. one 100 gal tank contains nothing but wood, the last 100 gal is where the pump is hooked up. now i have heard to never mix these two kinds of discus. due to disease transfer. I have domestics now in a separate 300. i would like wilds and i would like them in their own tank. so as not to detract from their beauty. i would like to keep the other kind in a separate tank but on the same system. so that i could keep something that has different needs in the other 300. what would i need to do to minimize the negatives of this kind of set up? currently the 300 that is separate has had discus in it for 4 years. my tanks are currently on tap water. would you suggest going back to r/o to be successful at breeding? I have two that breed occasionally. they always eat them before hatching. and i just haven't gotten serious enough to separate them.since the wood i collect is from my dads lake which contains "fresh water shrimp" all of my tanks are full of these copepods. to me those seem good. there a great food sorce and to my tell of a great eco system.I know i have jumped around in this post. hopefully you can understand what im asking
