I would 'suspect' that these tanks ain't gonna hold as much water as would be deemed ideal if discus are your thing

2x1x1 is fine for breeding my pairs always fdid well in 24x12x14 filled about an inch from the top.

as long as you can keep your water stable (lots of regular changes there isn't a problem with any of your tanks, use the 2 and 3 footers as breeders and the bigger tanks as grow outs, with that many tanks you'd better invest in 1 or even 2 1000L water aging drums.
