Hi everyone
, i'm new here, and have a question for all you discus pros
i'm moving my current 3 discus (later will be 5 or 6) from my 40 to my 90 gallon in a couple weeks after cycling is complete (will be 8 weeks then) and am nervous about using the new (amazing) Python for my 90 going forward.. I used it once already and it's going to make my water changes a breeze! Love this thing!
The problem is, with Discus in there, then putting tap water directly back in the tank before treating it with Prime, can't be good! My LFS says to put a 90 gallon treatment of Prime in the tank just before I add the tap water, and all is fine... 3 minutes before the prime works, and doing this every few days makes me think my discus will suffer. Thoughts? I have never done it this way, and would love to hear from anyone who's done it this way and all is good. Oh and btw, it's planted with flourite substrate, clown loaches, large angel, and other small shoalers. Thanks!
