best discus tank water conditioner

[Mango]

I'm new to Discus, so this thread's gold. Got a 50-gallon with a internal filter, and I've been using Tetra AquaSafe. Seems okay, but I'll probably switch to Fritz after reading this. How long do you guys let the water sit before adding it?

Welcome to the club! I don't let it sit at all—just dose the conditioner, mix it in, and pour. My 65-gallon's got a canister filter, and the Discus are doing great. Just make sure the temp's spot-on.

I've been using Seachem Safe for a while now. It's the powdered version of Prime, and it's way more cost-effective. My 100-gallon's got a sump, and I do 25% changes every 4 days. Discus are healthy, no issues.

Yo, anyone tried that new Aqueon stuff? Saw it at the store, but I'm sketched out by new products. My 55-gallon's got a sponge filter, and I'm sticking with Prime for now. Discus are happy, so why fix what ain't broke?

I'm with CycleFan—Prime's been my go-to for years. 75-gallon, planted, with a canister filter. Discus are breeding, so I must be doing something right. Water changes every 3 days, 30%. Simple and effective.
