Gwenn Connor Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I’m new so hi everyone, I’m trying to set up a 125 gal discus planted tank . My ph is good and it seems like everything else in going good but hardness is in the 700s not sure what to do. I don’t have the Discus yet I’m waiting to get my water right. Can anyone help? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Wild discus are use to soft water, but domestic discus are very flexible and can do fine in hard water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 For example breeders like Stendker specifically address the water parameter question: This isn't to say all discus breeders have hard water tolerant discus. But some breeders like Stendker do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 The 3 things I always keep in mind with discus are: Keep the aquarium very warm, somewhere in the 84°F - 86°F Feed a high quality varied diet, I feed some live foods mainly because they will eat live foods readily and once they are eating frequently they will eat just about any dry food you give them also Keep the water clean, either with water changes or very good biological filtration I would like to hear @Paul's thoughts on what advice he would give also.
