    I would really recommend you guy to try marine pure, bakki balls media etc. They are so good, a bit costly but nothing compare to the fish. I think reddit said 1 small cube equivalent hundreds of ceramic ring.
    But well, just my opinion. You have a nice big tank, but where are the fishes? I would add 30 more ^^

    I will check my local pet store for some of these over the next few days, thank you
    I just tested the water this morning, the PH is about 7.0 this time. I have driftwood so im not sure why its changing. My nitrate is a bit higher too, bordering on 40, no idea why that has creep up too. I only did a 50L water change yesterday. But i did add 2 new live plants, could be that. The Melon still seems unhappy today, yet the Touq is very happy.

    Thanks Harry, i will look into these things you suggested. I sold 3 of the Discus recently, and im left with only 2, the biggest and best ones i had. I was planning on buying some more soon, perhaps 3. Looks like it will be after xmass now though. So hopefully they will be ok for the time being.
