Flow
my flow rate is fairly good. I have two filters running ( Fluval 306 and Fluval G 6 with outlets at the right hand side of my tank, and a power head on the left hand side of the tank just above the CO2 reactor to circulate water , remove dead zones and break down any excess Co2 from the reactor.

I do have a JBL proflora test kit which I upgraded to include tests that are not within that test kit as standard.
My goals on the water parameter wise is keeping a balance with nutrients for the plants and clean water to support the tanks fish ( especially the discus).

Maintenance
I preform weekly water changes using two 25 litre jerricans and only maintenance bucket.
I prefer to use the maintenance bucket to clean any filter media in and also after use, keeping the wet equipment in.
I refill the tank with a Aquamarin water pump which I submerge into the jerricans. This has reduced some time on the water changes.
