That would be fine for five adults.

There is some variation on the minimum daily WC percentages. We did a poll recently though and it looked like 20% to 25% per day was the average. Moving 10 gallons a day isn't unreasonable, and it's important for the young ones.

What kind of discus are you getting?

Thanx ralph, well i already have them malboro reds.Was reaaly concerned about the 10 gallons per fish, but i guess that size tank will work, ill do larger water changes about 50% to get a really good growth , i want them to at least double there size, thanks for the info :-[
