Hi Dr.v I just re read your post and 26 is to low for discus you should go no lower than 28 and between 28 and 30 is good i keep mine on 29 as they like their water a lot warmer than other tropical fish. IMO

Hey chris how does the adelaide tap water treat ure fish mate.

[chris]

Not to bad I sometime age it for 3 days bit of clorine, dash of Geo liquid
Ive noticed PH drops, theres no doubt our water is unstable,
I change up to 30% water once a week, We do feed these guys a fair bit maybe this contributes a fair bit to our water make up.
Find a routine and stick to it.
Dont over populate your tank youll be right
