3) water will smell after some time, if u do not change water, so your room will smell
4) isnt it noisy to have a bubbling in the room?

thanks for the advise..

But now i set my room temperature to 25 deg.. Everyone, including me and the discus are happy! they even laid eggs! muahahah!

Noisy? Im already used to the wildlife sound lahh. Been in jungles like an idiot for the past 2 years.. hahaa so used to it liao!

bro, usually pp use heater when they discus is sick or showing signs of distress.
Bring up the water temperature will fasten the life cycle of the bacteria in the water. while treating the discus and fastening the life cycle of the bacteria, they will die off wif no chance to reproduce due to the medications in the water.

This way the discus will recover fast.

hope it helps
