Thank you for the video. I'm new to discus and I wanted to ask you how do you treat your tap water, PH and Nitrates? I have a water tank outside for the water changes, so how could soften the water for the changes? Thank you again

thanks for the filtration compliment. yes, admittedly, i don't have the prettiest tanks. i've taken the big one down and will be attempting a better aquascape. i'll post a new vid when i do.

Man! I talk about filtration on my channel all the time and i recommend it but... U have a fuck of the filtration going on there! I would definelty bring You as an exaple how we want our tanks to be treated. Anyways Your tanks are sort of ugly :) Love the Discus but aquascaping is weird I would say. So what. Water treatment is a masterpiece.

i use a pondmaster on my 120 gallon. i also have a breeding setup (not shown in vid) for which i use an aqua ultraviolet. the latter is my favorite of the two. i feel it performs a little better. good luck!!

Also which uv sterilizer are you using? I ask because I am doing a setup not much different from yours. 90g, fx5, aqueon proflex 3 sump with planted refugium, tunze top off for the sump, and aquatic life t5 for main tank lighting.i hope to have the tank set up next month, and eventually house about 6 discus.

Awesome tank man! What type of lighting are you using on your refugiums?

Nate Logston - 11 years ago
hello, thanks! i check my parameters every couple of weeks and although i hardly ever get results that would require a water change, i tend to do small (5-10% changes) every month-ish. yes, i use RO water and dose discus trace by seachem once a week. for me, the discus trace product replaces what some use tap water for, which is the extra elements needed for discus health that RO water removes. My tap water is so hard and high in PH, that it's not suitable for the discus. Yours may be better
