tHEcONCH Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Dixon, Discus DON'T like strong current - but all of the fish you've mentioned will be fine in gentle currents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tHEcONCH Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Yep, and orient it so that it sprays from one end of the tank to the other, rather than front to back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Do discus like tannins in the water? Im planningon having quite a bit of wood in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 A 404 on a 4 foot would only be gentle current. Except for a tiny section directly in front of the outlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 It generally beneficial, but don't forget most are raised without it - they'll be fine either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
