Aquarium Advice Addict
I'm in the planning/research stages since this is my first discus tank and I had a few questions...
1) What substrate would be best if I'm going to plant the tank? Eco-complete or just simple/cheap sand and root tabs?
2) What type of lighting would be a good balance between discus and plants? Where the discus would be happy yet the plants had enough light to grow?
3) I read somewhere (can't remember where of course) that a UV sterilizer is a good idea for a Discus tank. What's everyone's opinion/experience with this? I've never used them before but I was looking into a "Reaction 4-Stage Canister Filters w/ UV" filter for the tank.
Any advice would be helpful!
