Quiet Smaller Air-Pumps
Sorry to be a kill joy, both of my Eheim Air Pump got very loud, and one of them died. Used both for a deep tank, 70cm~80cm.

I put the buffer into the bucket not the tank... so the pH maintain stable. I do water change is not for pH obviously, but for get rid of NO2, NO3, NH3, NH4.

but 2nd thought, if it is fluke, shall i keep the praiz treatment with that TLC thing? most place i read says fish rubbing their gills cos it has fluke, but mine didnt gasping for air on the surface.

I think I know what you are saying, cos my filter is still new to grow bateria, therefore its not converting ammonia properly. I remember I test ammonia with this filter before (before water change), always 0 I think.... But I'll test the water when I get home. I remember the pH from tab was around 7.4 or something. and for the TLC thing for pond, wont it be too much? or it is okay? I never thought about buying pond stuffs to treat a tank.

My ex breed the fish, after I moved to my current place, I upgrade the old sponge filter to the Aqua one AQUIS 700 for the young ones bought in May I think, the adult was using Elite crysto flo 40, but I broke the cap, and could not find the part for months, so I've been using the filter that comes with the Blue Planet 140 (since mid April, it is alright, it has all filter medias. I don't think I can look at the hot water cylinder, the discus buffer is for the pH for the water. I changed water on Friday morning, 2 deaths happened on early Sunday Morning. I noticed the cloudy water on saturday night, and realised I forgot to turn the valve on, so I turn it back on the same night. the cycle is to kick start yes, someone told me the bateria is good for sick fish. the young discus did seen more vivid today, but ate less. maybe they are sad the ones we lost?

the young ones are 1 years old, was 10, 2 died on saturday as I forgot to turn the filter valve back on after water change, then I had 90 % water change, than follow by 60% water change that night. average size around 5-6cm to tail. 110 L for young discus, 4 adults average 10cm, had them for more than 2 years in 140L tank. No adult discus has died. I used buckets to change water, approx 8L per bucket with 1mL of aqua plus + discs buffer. I did put cycle in too. adult tank has worse water quality due to didn't treat the driftwood (tested first few weeks at the flat with new drift wood), but there are not much shit, cos other fish ate it lol. I am renting a room, so I don't think I can have aged tab water, I have stay at this flat since April, and only fish died of me accidentally overdoz of tea tree oil, and forgot to turn the valve back on. If they have survive this long, I don't really think my method has any problem. and I do have about 5 years fish keeping experience. I just test the pH, its 6.6.

Discus breathing fast for weeks
Hi, My young discus has been breathing fast 2 breath per second. I have treated them with praziquantel last month or so, dozed after another, nth changed. I have Aqua One AQUIS700, there is only noodles and bio ball, no carbon. I do 90% water change per week for young discus. now my adult discus are breathing fast than usual too..(for 4 days now I think) but never seen them scratch themselves to object. But I saw some young one did last night, so I hae treated the young one with praziquantel last night with lots aquarium salt. They still seen breathing quite fast. Is it gill fluke? Or stress?? cos my tanks are in my room, I go to bed after midnight, but cover the tank with something blocking 80% of my table lamp light.
