Try it without the buffer and see what happens. If you do it in a pitcher with just eggs on the cone, I don't know if the TDS of the water will matter. All you might loose is the spawn which is what you have lost this time.

I can do this with pure RO I made this specially if this happened. I will replace the cone or use the same on like this.
My pitcher concept.

Hopefully you will see a few wigglers. The male could just be too young. Patience is your friend with discus
It goes in the tank with the pair so they can see them until they hatch.
Chuck, you are so good at doing stuff! You can't imagine how long it took me to find a 1 gallon pitcher with an open handle.
My other pair spawned on Monday so I took the cone and put it in the container since I wasn't sure they were male/female but I guess they are. So I moved them to their own tank for now.

Looks extremely good Chuck. Those dark spots on the eggs are the eyes. :)
Good looking batch of eggs. They look just about to start wiggling.
Yes total surprise for me. The other pair I think they eat the eggs I can't tell from the surveillance camera I will see when I get home later.
Looks good, you might want to lower the air. I was looking at the other pair and it showed some bent spinal that can be from too much air and deformities.
Cliff knows more than anyone about breeding and raising fry. He saved my breeding program.
