was thinking about putting some discuss and some plecos in my 120gallon. I know that would mean alota water changes, but i think it would make an amazing display tank. would it be safe though?
plecos and discuss?

Depends on the types of pleco you want to keep. Discus IME are to big a target for meat eaters, unless the plecos are fed a good high protein diet. This mean MONSTER water changes, like 3 50% a week, give or take dependent on tank size:fish size.
It's a 120gallon tank with mass driftwood and plants, I planned on feeding them lots of beefheart,bloodworms, cucumbers and pellets every now and then.
U gota admit a pleco/discuss tank would look amazing. I wasent thinking monster plecos either for example, right now im in love with the gold nugget pleco, the L-134, and the l-02 the L-124 is nice!

I would stay away from the gold nuggets as they are carnivorous and that much harder to keep happy. The others are all should be ok. I have seen discus pleco tanks, but they have always been royals, and panaques, never carnivores.
hmm, thanks. I will do a search on panaque plecos on this sight and put up a list of what i might want. Lucky me that i already have 2 royal plecos 
well, so far i have only found these types of panaques.
tiger
leopard
flashpleco
Any others that im missing besides royals

no, some are panaques.
flash pleco- Panaque sp. (L204)
tiger pleco (if its the L002, as is a common name) panaque
the leopard frog is a small little peckoltia sp. that would do no harm
there are many many panaque species
