Hello all, I am a Discus noob,but not an cichlid noob although I know DIscus are totally different from what I am use to.
I have suucessfully housed and breed Peacocks and Tropeus, and now I plan to start a Discus and Apistogramma tanks.
Far as my discus tank I have 75gal tank with 2 whisper 60 turned to low, lots of different plants will update with names this evening, also have 3 pieces of driftwood (maylasian), not going to run CO2, gonna try the liquid chemicals as needed, it has been running for about 3 weeks now, my nitrates are great, ph is bout 6.8, but my KH and GH are both very high, I have done water changes but not sure how to get those levels down, I also have 7 neon tetras, and 7 Harlequin Rasbora, and 2 Corydoradinae they are silver with High Fins, lol drawing a mental name block right not. Oh yeah an my current temp is about 80.1 to 81.5 degrees through out the day.
I will also get this updated with some pics.
I am open to all suggestions, and criticism, as I said I am learning something new with the live planted aquariums as well as with the Discus. But qudos to this forum it has been very helpful from what I have read so far.
