Water

[diamonddiscus08]

Hello, I have a 55g planted with 4 discus using red co2 deluxe system about 60bpm temp 84 ph 7.8 running 2x134w 8hrs daily and actinics 1 hr before and after regular light. I am using 100% tap and doing 30% w/cs every 3-4 days I was wondering by using just tap water do I or should I add seachem flourish or does tap in general have enough nutrients? Also same question with discus I bought discus essentials to replace trace minerals is that neccesary either? I know do not have all the paramaters as the test kit i have is garbage. On that note what would anyone recommend to try and get the pH, nitrite/nitrate , kh and gh? Is there an all in one because it is awfully expensive to by individual kits. Thanks - Matt

Tap water is fine, just make sure you treat for Chloramines and Chlorine before you do any water changes if you have those in your tap water. You do not need and trace or any other type of chemicals for your tap.
