Hello All
I am an old discus guy from 1991, kept four red turquoise and two green turqoise in a 75 gal, uv sterilizer, and 2215 ehiem, planted tank
I only feed them beef hearts, bloodworms and brine shrimp
I am thinking of returniung to the hobby
a 150 gal with 2217 eheim, power compact lighting for live plants, eco complete for substrate
I have looked through the site and alot has changed or either I wasnt has knowledgeable back then
I will get the plants settled first, a constant ph 7.0/6.9
Since I am just going to keep discus and not breed, do I necessarily need R/O water???
Though I am using a substrate..I feel i can raise these guys from juvenile, I plan on having a a excellent team of cleanup guys botias(straitia), amano shrimp, candy striped plecos
I am thinking of adding another 2217 eheim just for keeping water quality to a premium
I feel I am moving in the right direction....any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appraciated
Thanks
Mike
