Thanks @Shadow. There are so many people out there talking about how you have to keep discus. I figured there are likely even more people that are keeping them successfully and just never talk about it. I am super excited to get back into it.
I remember when I was growing up, my brother and I were super into aquariums, and a family friend gave us a discus from one of his tanks. This was like a holy grail for us - we could have never paid for a discus. We honestly knew next to nothing about it, and threw it into a heavily planted 40 gallon community aquarium with tetras, angelfish, parrotfish (yes, a huge parrotfish), and everything in between. We didn't turn the temperature up high or anything - the discus lived for years and did really well. We were even running a makeshift CO2 reactor 24 hours a day using yeast, sugar, and water mixed in a 2 liter bottle and coming into the tank via an air stone. I got to thinking, if I was able to keep discus going as a 12 year kid with no knowledge, it has to be easier than the internet is making it out to be haha.
