What kind of plecos do you have? Most of the common plecos will get huge, I personally would not risk keeping them with a Discus. You might want to look into Bristle Nose cats (Ancistrus) they stay small (around 5") and are commonly kept with Discus. They are a really cool little fish, a small herd would look great in your tank.
Ancistrus cf. cirrhosus • Loricariidae • Cat-eLog • PlanetCatfish

The water section is a little on the shallow side for Discus-hence keeping the number low. I only have one pleco- its a blue spot- stays rather small. The tank is designed for stingrays- no pointy objects and no plecos that will get big on suck the slime coat.
