I have never kept Discus myself, but based on the experiences of others that I've heard/read about, they need lots of plants, a really good filtration system, lots of room (50 gallons+ for two of them), and really low PH (like 6.5 and below). Putting driftwood in will help safely lower the PH. I don't think the kind of substrate (sand, gravel, etc.) matters.
