Photo of your discus
Those SSS looks really good Chin, Are they the new one you got. How many of them did you get or are they the same fish in the photos. Jettin, it's about time you get back into it. Competition means better quality discus for us all in future. Good to see more people with knowledge and experience breeding true strains instead of muck crosses. Cheers, Ron

potassium permanganate
Dosage depend on how clean your tank is and your bio load. It will oxidise every thing it come s in contact with. It will kill your bio filter. Better to treat it in a bucket. What are you trying to treat? ron

New discus with possible gill flukes???
You shouldn't have got the fish if it is not 100% right. You should have quarantin it for at least 2 weeks to de-stress (if there is such a word) it and to adapt to your feeding and waterchange routine without being hassle by other fish. Discus with gill flukes will be dark, clamp fins, hiding, swollen and flare gill plate , and all those mention by Jeff and Sharn. Ron

Filter tubes blocked - what is it, what should I use?
Stuff some filter floss (white stuff) into the hose and get something to puss it through the hose a couple of times and it'll be clean as. Fill the hose with water first to soften the gunk. Ron

Long weekend
Sharn is spot on with the waterchange. Just do a waterchange before you go. Food is not crucial. Ron

You sure you're not adding something special to your water. How I wish my spotted is doing the same thing.
