Hi all I’m a beginner with planted tank and only a couple of years into discus so definitely ‘just an egg’. I sent some pics to a local fish breeder of my plants which are being destroyed. Chap got...

Thanks for response Steve. I’ve been lucky, the guy I purchased my aquatic plants from is a professional fish breeder of natives. He solved the problem for me! It’s called ‘my stupidity’, lol. Had...

I’ve planted my Cade 1500 Discus tank and have been doing a fishless cycle. Purchased an aqua medic 1000 reactor for the CO2 equipment. When first installed the aqua medic chamber was always full of...

So last month I travelled down to beautiful Lennox Head NSW for a holiday and on way home collected my Cade Altumate 1500 cabinet. It was naturally all crated up so I couldn’t look at it until I’d...

Hi Steve and Sayid, got back from Queensland this week with Cade cabinet on back of Ute. Had to put the tank on transport so that arrives mid next week. I’m in the fortunate position to have room in...

Hi Sabrina, so glad you decided to try again. I’ve been following your post and are keen to know how you went with your new tank. Have you got Discus in there now? Your plants looked absolutely...

Hi Sayid, nice to hear from you again. Thanks for responding. Well as things go my nephew got involved over the 1200 and convinced me that as I’m driving a 7000k round trip to pick up a tank while on...

After a bumpy ride I’m now feeling a wee bit more comfortable in keeping these magnificent fish, or ‘dinner plates’ as my family have nicknamed them :). Thanks everyone for the advice on this forum...

Thought I would wait for awhile and see if my remaining 7 had any problems before posting again. So some 3 weeks later (touch wood) all the rest seem fine. You were bang on the nose Hollowman-...

Thanks Hollowman. I’ve been doing a wc change twice a week on a regular basis and the occasional 3rd if I think needs it. The pothos plant was great in the tank and seemed to help with the water...

Worked! Yesterday morning found my yellow discus dead - no colour fade (reason later for mentioning) and partially eaten. Came home really late night before so didn’t check tank. Removed her and...

I’ve tried twice to post in the emergency forum without success - posting this before I waste time typing again. If works will post my urgent issue

Hi all, my tank has been holding at 7.2 pH for weeks now. In the last wc I added two additional chemicals to my aged water mix along with continuum reconstitute (using mix of 80% RO and 20% bore) and...

Thanks Sayid, did clean sump quiet well yesterday with tank water, maybe too well as my nitrates measured at 20 ppm this morning. I noticed that you use prime on another thread. I've taken a bucket...

Thanks Sayid, I haven't used the product as yet and following your advice don't think I will. The product warning is concerning in itself, ie use half dose initially in case of an oxygen and ammonia...

Live plants Sayid, got rid of all my artificial plants. Looking to eventually have a few more live but taking things slowly atm. Have just received some Dr Tim's waste-away so hopefully over next...

Well some five weeks on and my discus seem to be thriving. The BD's have spawned three times and look like setting in to another spawn. The fire Phoenix and red cover have spawned once....

Oh no Sabrina that's terrible. I don't know if this will help but I've read that if you get a clean jar, put a small lettuce leaf in it and fill it with aquarium water and sink to to the bottom the...

Sabrina so sorry to hear about yr loss. At least you know you did everything possible but it doesn't help with how it makes you feel. I am a total novice in this hobby but after losing my five juvies...

Yep, been following those instructions religiously but reckon I mustn't have shaken 2 long enough as this morning got a read of 5 ppm so false readings. Better check my other tank as if it read at 5...

Yes Sayid, API. Is there issues with this test kit?

Wed Nov 09, 2016, 08:04 AM
Ok, I'm confused. My tank was cycled well before I got my 9 discus. Since the arrival of the discus my nitrate reading has been a max of 5 ppm, ammonia and nitrite 0. I do the wc when the nitrate...
