Use driftwood, it naturally brings down the PH and keeps it there.

Hi what heater do you use in this tank? I have a 300w heater in my 3ft tank but I struggle to get the water temp above 29c. Is it best to use 2 heaters?

Nick Williams // I use 2 heaters. Just in case if one of them will not work and also they do help each other to keep proper temperature.

Hi how big a tank does 1 or 2 discus need? Also your video gives me confidence to start discus keeping

Always buy more than 4 or 5, they are a shoaling fish that need groups for security and they establish a pecking order so if u only have 2 the more dominant one will constantly pick on the weaker one and 1 it will not have a sense of security. A 55 gallon is a nice size for 6 adults grown from young

Best way to keep ph at a decent level for discus is go buy some peat moss balls and put them in your filter.They last months and you can also add bog wood.Youll have no problems keeping discus in a ph of between 6.5 right up to 7.2.

Nice video. Scratch the rain water. Some places will be better than others but as rain water falls it picks up contaminants on the way down. Not a risk in willing to take. Ime. good luck with the discus!! Some nice ones

Hi captain, I really enjoy your video, Just a question, where do you buy that tuffer rock?
captainhelmet69
captainhelmet69 - 10 years ago
To measure it you can use test strips but there not the most accurate I use a chemical formula to test input some of the water and the chemical in a tube and it colours up to tell you the ph. Ways of hanging the ph you can do it naturally eg adding certain woods to make it more acidic or certain rocks make it more alkaline hope that helps

Thats a pretty nice set-up. Cheers from Canada, thanks for the advice. You are correct, discus aren't as hard as people think. Lots of water changes is my best advice to new discus keepers. That white one is fantastic! I keep cory cats and 4 pictus cats in my tank and they get along fine.

Looking awesome as usual Captain! Do you user a buffer to keep your PH that low or is your water naturally like that? Good tips thanks for posting
