Tank is looking to be upwards of 180-265 gallons. Filtration 2 fx5s's

Stock 8 heckel discus
shoal of bleeding heart tetras
a group of some sort of pleco
6 Geophagus parnaibae
10+ corys aldolfi acuratus melini, etc

and suggestions on what kind of plants would work best? a mix of every thing? crypts anubias val?
 
Yeah, maybe Altum Angelfish. Ive got some with my Discus, BPs, Severum and other fish in my 120. They are F2s bred locally. Cheap too, 18 NZD for 3, this is where your average Discus costs $50 from some fish shops but usually around $80 from pet shops and neon tetreas are $2 each or more. Regular angelfish are $4 from a really good LFS near me
 
Swordplants would do well.
 
I am splitting an order with a friend of 8 discus. 4 are green tefe and 4 are manacaparu. If i have enough money i will take all 8.
Also adding a few wild peruvian angels to the mix.
