  1. I have RO for my breeding pairs but do nothing for hardness in growouts/non breeding adults. They only need the soft water for the eggs to hatch... What they prefer is stable water. So the less you mess with the better.

    I age my water and use Safe (powdered version of prime - much more cost effective) because sometimes Austin and my little water supply place puts chloramines in the water with no notice. I do large water changes on my discus and male Bettas, after almost killing several tanks that were better off before the water change due to the ammonia released when you break the chloramines bonds. I started to age my water - haven't had a problem since.

  2. George - I breed Discus (when they cooperate) adults would do fine in Austin tap water planted tank ... So long as your not breeding them. I grow them and keep them in straight tap treated with Safe (Seachem). Age 24 hours and into tank it goes.

    Don't buy discus from anywhere in town though - or compare to them cause that's not what I'm talking about. This guy was best in show last year. One of mine was people's choice. I have third place FOTAS discus here also.

  3. Do the pendants have to be in a canopy or could I modify something? I have a 75 RR - no canopy right now that I'm looking to set up. <br /><br />Also have an modified LED bio cube 29 or JBJ HQI 28-- I'm looking to simplify tanks and combine in the 75 RR
