Hi All,

I have been keeping freshwater aquariums for over 20 years now and have now decided to try my hand at Discus keeping.

I am going to set up my 5x2.5x2 tank for them and a few tank mates.

I was thinking to keep wilds.

I have a 3 foot sump with heaps of bio media along with a Eheim pro 3e 2076 connected to a 40W Deltec High output UV.

I will be running a reverse osmosis water change system with the water being stored in a drum until I need to do water changes witch i think will be 30% 2 times a week.

I will also have a PH and ORP Monitor to help me keep an eye on the tank.

Regards

Peter
