Keeping Wilds

[dpgc4life]

Hey guys,
Trying to set up a discus tank and i seen pick of all your gorgeous wilds. I would love to get some heckle and tefe green discus. Ive been keeping tropical fish for 2 years now (but never kept discus). Current ph is 6.6, Nitrate bout 25ppm, ammonia 0 , nitrite 0, gh and kh are low.

I know wilds are expensive but hey thats why i got a job. Would it be foolish of me to jump straight into wilds ?

whats the best method of reducing nitrate ? bigger water changes ? i do 140L per week in my 4x2x2

[dpgc4life]

A 4x2x2 is 450 liters ...... I would be doing 2 x 50% WC's or 3 x 30% WC's per week on a moderately stocked 4x2x2 to keep Nitrates below 10ppm for wilds.

would 7 adults in a 4X2X2 be moderate ?
