Discus without RO water?

Mine spawn and hatch in dechlorinated tap water at a ph 7.6. Discus are beautiful but they are a commitment to more frequent water changes than most other fish. If you buy young discus and are not committed to ensuring they have exceptional diet and water quality, you will wind up with a batch of sickly stunted discus.

I think Discus will be something I try later in life. With a newborn due (our first) in April I doubt I will have nearly enough time for these beauties. Hopefully I will have time for what I have right now...
