Bro,

Potential hazard is your artificial corals.

Nice range of discus. They will grow pretty big if u feed well and look after the water.
Agree that the corals are dangerous as they can get injured if spooked. Maybe you can use plastic plants if you want some decor.
I would consider a 4ft tank if you want them to grow fully.

All the best

I'd suggest you remove that piece too. Injury waiting to happen. Why not put the smooth plate or pot to prepare for breeding?

Yea, remove the last piece coral and heater also. Don't really need a heater in our climate unless is in aircon room.
