Cloudy water after wc

Ah, depending on the discus. The wild caught and the Juvi discus are most sensitive needing excellent water, by doing water changes everyday.

Tank breed adult discus dont need as much water changes as they do when young, possibly 2 25% water changes per week or 1 50% per week.

Thank you

I've read that before about PWCs, but I was referring to his water hardness and Ph. I was under the impression that Discus like a lower PH and softer water.

Yes, But if acclimated properly, they can go in the neutral side of the Ph scale

Update! More pics. I got rid of the pots and added more driftwood and plants.

Thanks. I actually bought a new filter just for the extension but it is still a little short. You said it should be 3" from the substrate. It's better than where it was before

It just helps to be staggered to pick up lower waste and the upper to pick up waste floating high. The whole tank is very eye pleasing to look at. I want to do a 125 to 150 Gallon real soon.

Took some test couple hours after PWC..

Nitrite: <.25ppm
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrate: between 5-10ppm
pH: 7.6

Almost done with cycling.
