Re: can discus handle high nitrates?
Nitrate tolerance depends on age. Juveniles need under 20 ppm for proper development. Adults can handle 30–40 ppm if other params are pristine. Test your tap—sometimes the source is the culprit. My tap's at 10 ppm, so I'm fighting an uphill battle with water changes alone.

best food for vibrant discus colors
I've been feeding my Discus a mix of flakes and frozen bloodworms, but their colors aren't as vibrant as I'd like. What's the best food to really make them pop? My tank is 75 gallons, with a sand substrate and driftwood. I do 30% water changes weekly, and the temp stays at 84°F. They're about 4 ...

Re: Discus Trace
I use Discus Trace. Figured it'd be a good idea since I'm on RO water. Helps replace those important trace minerals, in my opinion.

Re: poret foam
I've had a stroke and my mind isn't working too well lately. I did check the site but got overwhelmed - there are just too many options for 30 foam sheets. I've got a 150-gallon planted tank with two filters, so any advice would be a huge help.
