Fish Fanatic
I want to start a discus tank. I've been doing as much research as I can. I've read they like tall tanks so I found a great deal on a 125 gallon 4 foot tank. I think it will be suitable for quite a few fish. I'm worried about my water parameters though. I have a ph of 7.6. I know that is quite high for discus. I purchased a GH and kh test kit to see how hard my water is and no matter how many drops I put in, the sample never turns green. My KH is 71.6 ppm. Is it possible that my water is "off the charts" hard? Does anyone keep discus who's water tests are similar to mine? Is an RO unit required for me to lower my PH to a proper PH for discus?
From what I understand, in order to lower my PH I must first lower the hardness of my water. I am not opposed to buying whatever I need to create a habitable environment for discus.
Thanks for the help everyone! This forum always gives me great advice.
