Aquarium Advice Addict
1) I'm planning a 125 Discus tank, and I had some questions about the filtration. I was going to go with a Cascade canister filter because that's what I use for my 55gal. I don't know what size/model though. The 1200 filters up to 150gal and has a 315gph flow, but the 1500 filters up to 200gal with a 350gph flow. Since discus require really clean water, I was leaning towards the 1500. But will that be too strong of a current for the discus or what?
2) What's the difference between ceramic bio-rings and a bio-sponge? I've only used bio sponges in the past, would the rings help keep the water clearer than a sponge?
3) Would zeolite be any help in a filter for a discus aquarium? Or would it remove the blackwater tannins?
Any extra info on filtration for a discus aquarium would be great!
