Hello from sunny (and hot) Arizona

[DWinchester]

Thank you for the add. I am new to the Apisto's having bought a pair of Hongsloi Super Reds for my 91g Discus tank about 3 weeks ago. This tank, a Red Sea aquarium, has 7 discus, 2 Electric Blue Rams, 3 German Blue Rams, 3 Siamese Algae Eaters , and a school of 18 Rummy nose Tetras. I also have a 46g bowfront with 3 blue Gourami's, 2 fire red Dwarf Gourami's, a tire track eel, 2 Paradise Fish, 3 Clown Loaches, and 1 Fancy Angelfish.

What do you do for water? AZ water is liquid rock

Lol, yes it is!! 1) RO for my top off tank and small water changes..2) I had a plumber install a spicket in our backyard from the water softener for our 6' fountain AND our 4 aquariums. I have a 35g trash w/wheels I put the water in and a pump that will transfer it from the trash can into the tank. I pretreat the water with Prime and Pristine, I make sure the water temp and ph match the aquarium. The water usually sits in the can overnight to cool before I can add, because it comes out of the spicket too hot at nearly 100 degrees. The discus/ram/apisto tank is kept around 84-85 degrees My other tanks 75-76..
