whots the best ppm for your discus water!

im useing 100% r/o and useing tropic marin pro-discus re min to put minrels back in water!

my ppm is around 70 ppm

My tds is 45 out of the tap which I use for breeding and I've just started adding tropic marin pro-discus to raise tds to 150 for growing on.

I use RO & add RO Right - I aim for 100-125. but then I'm not interested in breeding :)

[jonny j]

thanks guys! im not far off the mark then!

iv found a lower ppm gives me a better egg hatch rate! say 50-80 ppm!

[DiscusDrew]

Every breeder here would agree with that statement I believe, myself included but I only use RO and RO right when hatching then its straight back to aged tap water.

whots the best ppm for your discus water!

There is no one answer to this question, it depends on what elements make up the content of the dissolved minerals that are contributing to the conductivity of the water. It is theoretically possible to have extremely high TDS value but still be cacium deficient.

If your under 150 your doing well
