Yep, discus are unique, but too difficult for me. I have a friend who tried his hand at them.I play around a little with Discus but honestly they can be a bit stressful. I age my water in 55 gallon barrels in the basement and pump it up to the tank.
They are beautiful but I am of the opinion that they have been breed to be overall less tolerant of disease. I had Discus 25 years ago and they were the hear heartiest fish I owned. Today you have to be worried about cross contamination if you own more than 1 tank, which I do.
