Do you mean 80 gallons? If 80 gallons then yes it should be fine to have 6 discus in it. Rule of thumb is 1 adult discus per 10 gallons of water. I like having a sand bottom in my tank. I also painted the background blue and have a few pieces of drift wood and some rocks. The lighter the background and tank is the better the colors of your discus will be. If you do use sand go with silica pool filter sand. HTH.
