pH stability is huge. I keep mine at 6.5 with driftwood and peat in the filter. Discus are colorin' up nice now that the temp's right. What's your water change routine? I do 50% weekly, but with your frequent changes, you might be golden.
Yeah, driftwood's a game-changer. My tank's at 6.6, and the Discus are way less skittish. You using RO water or tap? I mix 'em, 50/50, with Seachem Equilibrium.

Tap water here, but I age it 24 hours with Prime. Discus hate chlorine, obviously. Temp's steady at 84°F now, and they're schooling like crazy. You notice any aggression during feeding? Mine get pushy with the beef heart.
