they need more cover like drifwood some live plants try dimming one side of the tank
The dimmed lights is a good idea, driftwood is not necesary though.
 
The problem you have is that the discus haven't been in the tank long at all. It can takes weeks and even months for them to feel comfortable. Feeding by hand, and holding the food will help them come out more.
 
Is your AC110 on the opposite side as they are? It may just be the flow from the AC110 that makes them stay to that side. I dont think discus like powerful flow like that. They may get used to it, just give them more time to settle in.

yea its on the opposite side from where they are, the 70 is near them.
 
I have had that problem before my discus would not come out at all so i put some driftwood and plants in. They came out a bit but after a month and i had to feed them frozen bloodworm every week they became so confident.Rams are great tank mates i have 3.
