I have nothing to say about Discus, just sick of seeing the New World sub-forum empty of any posts.

Well you could say that they are very beautiful fish!

Or you could say that someone with hard well-water would need to get an RO unit if he wanted to keep any!

.... which is why I've never tried them.  :(

Yes very funny you are!   I have never kept them either.   But the wife really likes them so maybe if I get some she'll quit complaining and I will put a tank in the living room again and not have to listen to any crap.   I have hard water though and really don't want to have to mess with adjusting the ph all the time.   FF tells me they have some that have adjusted to a ph higher than the normal recommendations.

I have never done anything to my water, Just try and get some that were raised around here.
Post on C/L That you want some, I have seen a few now and then. Keep them hot and lots of air.
