No discus yet. I have 2 55s with tetras & corys.
Still working on the water changes & pH stuff.
However, by researching about discus keeping, I have made some nice discoveries.
I set up a small water room in an extra half bath & ran some cpvc to my tanks.
It is easier to do water changes now, so, I do them more often.
Plus, I can age & condition my change water.
I can completely control the water chemistry of the change water.
So, by adjusting the frequency & percentage of water changes,
I can control the chemistry of my tanks.
It has had a dramatic effect on both of my tanks.
I'm starting to get eggs all over the place.
Anyway, to all you experts, this may seem like a small victory, but I'm excited.
I have hesitated to buy any discus fish, but, I may indeed have the confidence now.
Thanks for all your help.
