I also dose glutaraldehyde (active ingredient in excel). The lighting at the moment is inadequate, it's only a single t5ho grow light, but it does keep the plants growing and green. I'm planning to a dual bulb setup in the near future, but probably won't do any more because i don't want to go pressurized co2.
Correct. It's much cheaper than buying excel.Glutara is only for a co2 subatitute right? If not what? And where did you get your kno3? Can't find it anywhere except online
Beautiful! I don't know a lot about discus...do they need lots of open space? It looks like you have the whole front of the tank open and I wasn't sure if that was aesthetic preference or fishy preference

I bought my kno3 online, but I've read that spectracide stump remover is pure kno3 also. Just google around a bit.
The cost isnt too high form a place like aquariumfertilizer.com or bobstropicalplants.com, as you'll likely need to get the rest of the macros/micros anyhow and might as well get them all at once. The one exception is mgso4 which is easily found in its hydrated form in basic epsom salt.

Yeah the driftwood piece is huge.
