[Benno]

Hey guys i was just wondering how does everyone prepare theyre water that they are adding to there discus tank before the water changes. I was just wondering if the only thing you guys add to the water is just conditioner to remove chorine and chloramine. because i have a big 200 litre drum that i could prepeare water in for when i get my discus tank. Thanx guys benno

Hi benno I have a 2ooltr drum I store my water in which I keep in my laundry with a heater and a airstone running in it, I add dechlorinator to it to remove the chlorine and chloramine and then leave it for at least 24 hrs then its fine to use

I only dechlorinate it but once its in my tank I also add geo liquid to it which is suppose to take out any nasties but Im seriously thinking of getting a ro unit as our tap water is really bad and about the fish read yur other post.

I use 200 liter drum to age water and add seachem prime to remove chlorine and chloromine. Also have a small internal filter for circulation.
