G'day Stu,

Don't forget to heat water to tank temp before adding to the main tank. You may also want to test your KH (Carbonate Hardness) and if need be raise either by using KH powder or shellgrit. Melbourne water can very soft, once you add your fish you may find the PH will drop over time. If you don't do regular WC's you may find you run the risk of the PH crashing. HTH

I assume you will be getting some Discus soon ! Have fun and let us know how you go.


Cheers,

Dee :)
