Just came home with 10 Red Cover Discus. I plan to grow them out and put the best one's in my 90 gallon planted tank with 2 Panda/Turquoise X

They look wonderful Sonny and welcome to SD.
I tracked one of your posts on GTA Forum regarding rain barrels. I hope you decided not to collect rain water from your roof. I know someone suggested placing a tarp but I would not take a chance. Your rock hard tap water will do wonders growing out those Red Cover juvies.
Best of luck with them.

Yeah I decided not to use them after all......I used to breed Discus about 16 years ago in Toronto using just tap water with great results, but I'm not too sure about this liquid rock here in Georgetown :)
