Very nice.. I'm trying to go into that rout as well "Discus" when I become a Pro.

Very nice,
Skybox discus are not as hard to keep as the internet portrays. Do your homework and they will live a long time in your tank.

Would it be best to clean out my old tank setup and start new before order than. The reason for that is, not sure if my water is good. I don't know anything about water quality? I do test the water with strip test.. Some level are too high and some are too low. I just don't want to kill any of new Discus if it's due to my water. So is that true that you would have to do a water change ever week than?

those strip tests are absolute JUNK, get the drop tester kit.

I do pwc's of 20%(roughly 40 gallons) every other day on my 210.

Id strip the tank out, get all new substrate, cycle the tank and test the water daily to get the right parameters. I get mine from collectors as well as breeders so I know the fish coming to me are in great health. There are alot of variables to keeping discus healthy and water quality is number one.

skybox: their u have it, white glove gave the same advice i did. an i agree test strips r garbage. i think the drops r way more fun n e way.

defently clleanout ur tank an start over. an get the water were u want it b 4 u buy. it is easyer an will save money as well as trouble..

I'd say it depends on your setup. Are you happy with it? If you want to change substrate or some thing it would be a good chance. If you are happy with it and you had no problems before you might not need to change any thing.

Discus are large fish, is your tank big enough for them?

tank is pretty different now. new wood, an totally rearanged. an added some fish.
