Lowering my GH for Discus Breeding ?

[tonitetra]

What about the product made by API? It's a substance you put in your filter and helps to lower the GH overtime.

Yes the water softener pillow. I have that too. I have that and the peat media in my filter.

Is the salt content in marine based meat safe for fresh water fish?. I have always fed discus blood worms or Tubifex

Yes, the salt in marine fish and shrimp is safe for freshwater fish.

Live Tubifex is a quick way to introduce intestinal worms and internal protozoans and bacteria into a tank. Tubifex are grown in sewerage ponds and are the most contaminated food there is.

Live blackworms are grown in cleaner ponds but can transmit diseases and worms to fish.
