Hey guys,

Im looking at getting some Discus from Marlon. These will be my first Discus *PRETTY EXCITED!!*. So I have been trying to do as much research,reading and learning as I can.

Currently I have Cardinals,SAE and DAE in my 6ftx2x2 tank,currently doing 2 x weekly 25% water changes wednesdays and sundays filtration via fX5 and Aqua 1. The tank has been fully established,I have slowly raised the temp to 29c. The tank is planted with pressurized Co2 & I am pretty much ready for the big show! haha.
Now the question I am asking is with PH (Mine is at 6-6.5) but my water change tank is at 7.5! I have read that some people use Indian Almond leaves in there water change tanks to get the water to around the PH of my tank. I do not want to be adding salts etc and playing around with water. Do the Almond leaves work or do I just keep adding the new water with the 7.5 PH to my 6.0 Tank and It wont hurt the discus?

Any tips or advice?

Thankyou

Rory
