I've got a couple of tanks that have South American fish, no Discus though. 1 is heavily planted with apistos couple of angels, pencil fish, and tetras. The other is soon to have a couple of apisto in it but not planted. I have always used the standard aquasonic blue conditioning crystals. I am starting to think that this may be the wrong stuff to use. I'm pretty sure Discus requires the same water conditions as the fish I have. So was wondering if I could get some advise on what I should be using.
Thanks
Sime

Ever since I switched to Prime ( from Seachem ) I have noticed MAJOR changes in the stability of all of my aquariums."I am not the chicken plucker. I am the chicken pluckers son, and I'll be plucking chickens till the chicken plucker comes!"

I was converted by the Seachem rep at last years ACA convention.
We were talking about some of the issues that I had been having, and he reccomended trying Prime out.
He even gave me a 16oz bottle ( along with several other products to sample ), and gauranteed that I would notice a distinct difference in my water quality.
I have been using it ever since, and my fish have never been happier."I am not the chicken plucker. I am the chicken pluckers son, and I'll be plucking chickens till the chicken plucker comes!"

Prime is probably the most expensive, I buy mine online ...

If what your currently using is working and you think that prime is abit prohibitive in cost, I think stay with what your using ... unless someone else can recommend an alternative ... I think Proteus mentioned another product about 12 months ago ...
I just checked their website, they now have a free membership, which saves you 10% on their all ready low prices

Prime sounds pretty good but I was refering more on the side of what salts people use rather than declorinators and co.
