i have a 150gal tank with 8 discuss and was wandering if it would be ok to add a water pump to create some current and mixup the water a bit better than the filters do

What kind of filters do you have? I run a canister filter and have a sump system as well. With those two input lines angled the right way i have no problem with mine circulating water.

i have 3 filters 2 big Eheim and a sump, but my tank has lost of drifwood, rocky backgorund etc. so there are quite a few dead spots. So i wanted to know if a bit of water flow would be ok for my discuss.

I have a spraybar and small powerhead in my 90g and my discus do not care at all. They swim directly into the powerhead's flow quite often.
