I'm not concerned about the feedings as much as I am about the water changes. I am willing to attempt to do about 10% 4 times a week or 20% 2 times a week. But I also have some great filtration---a 1000L pond filter which I'd add a ton of "beneficial bacteria growers" like bio-balls to help even more. Also, I'd be going for a majorly planted tank so hopefully that would take out some of the nitrates and phosphates.

What is the discus growth rate if everything goes as planned as far as good water changes and feedings. I'm trying to learn everything I can about keeping discus but there always seems to be more to learn and then more of a challenge. If I can get them to grow to an adult size within 1/2 to 1 year, that would be great (so I can slightly ease up on water changes).
