Welcome to the BRS!

Glad to find another discus lover. In our old house we had a 300 gallon in wall discus planted tank...how I miss it.

I missed discus too but too much water change. I was tired. saltwater is more easy.

When my family was trying to breed them we would monitor the parameters at least twice a day and as soon as things started to teeter we would change. This generally was every few days as you breed them in bare bottom tanks with something for them to lay eggs on and some sort of simple filter. I think we just used sponge filters and were really careful about watching everything. I know that our display was so large and densely planted that we didn't do frequent water changes. No point in fixing what isn't broken right? I know that from my experience breeding discus was the hardest thing I've ever seen done or been a part of in this hobby so he must mean that.
