Will this work?

I know the PFS will work but will let someone else to chime in about the flourite tablets.
When discus are growing don't use a substrate, please. With the amount of waste youngsters can produce you can have some serious nitrate and bacterial problems if you don't keep the bottoms clean, it can lead to stunted and sick discus. As adults they are more forgiving.
Flourish root tabs will work, depends on what you'd like to plant though.

They will not be going into the 240 for a while. Thanks for the information. I am just getting started on the restocking of the 240 and making sure I have everything right. What do you think about the quickcrete brand pool filter sand?
That sand is quite dirty, but easily cleaned. Stick hose in bottom of bucket, fill with sand, turn on hose, go do something else for awhile, get lost in your train of thought, blah blah blah. Come back and pull the hose out, dump the excess water off the top and wala clean sand. That sand is a little bigger grain which makes vacuuming easier.
Thanks sounds like a win win. I am all about saving money. Not when it comes to my live stock. lol
Pool filter sand is good stuff. I'd say go for it.
Personally I like this "estes stoney river aquarium sand" I have used in my last few tanks. Similar to PFS but slightly larger grain. A bit less cost effective though.
Flourish tabs are decent, I used them for a while in my planted tank. Switched to just dosing the liquid stuff though as I found it easier and don't have particularly demanding plants.
