    Default sharing my growout tank experience

    so about two weeks ago i set up a 20 gallon for the purpose of growing some juvinille discus. I am running a AC unit and two sponge filters and have been doing min 50% water changes daily. I have been keeping temperature at 86-88 and feeding twice a day. I got my fish from Rick and i was supprised how healthy these guys are and how much they eat. Anyway just wanted to share my experience so far
