Discus breeding setup
Hi all I am after some ideas and advice on what has worked well for the tank set ups for breeding Discus.
I am currently about to order tanks to be made I was thinking of 2' x 18" x 18" to give them planty of depth and hight but not too big so the fry get lost.
I am also wanting to set up an auto water change system. Does any one have contact details or info in companies that build this sort of stuff. I have tried google but not much luck. I was thinking of having a 3000 ltr storage tank for the new water and setting it up to do a 1/3 change say twice a day. am looking at around 3300 ltr worth of tanks, 10 x 2' for discus breeding. 6 x 3' for growing and breeding other breeds of fish and 4 x 4' for larger groups to pair up all 18" x 18".
Any suggestions or things that have worked well for you in the past?

I'd opt for 3 x 18 x 18 for a breeding set up.
But have read on here somewhere that 2 x 2 is a minimum.
Any auto water change will be a diy job, have never seen any for sale. What are you like with solinoids and pvc plumbing?
Would be easier with a sump filter but not sure how that'll go with a breeding set up.
