Re: wild discus vs captive bred debate
I've only kept captive bred, but they've been great. My 60 gallon's heavily planted, with a canister filter and CO2 injection. I do 40% water changes weekly, and they're thriving. Fed on a mix of pellets and frozen brine shrimp. Heard wild ones need softer water, which I can't provide, so I'm ...

Re: How long have you been without power?
I've dealt with my fair share of power outages and aquariums. digger's advice is spot on - pulling media out of filters and tanks is a good move. I also make it a point to hold off on feeding my fish until the power's back on, even if it takes several days ...
