Two guesses and they are just that:   1 - Nitrates at 25-30 may be too high.  This is one area often overlooked with discus, butthey are super sensitive to this.  Best to keep it in the 5ppm range.  Means more water changes.   2 - Your beefheart mixture.  Not meant as criticism, just guess.  Did...
