Salt is okay and especially at the amount you put in. I do have a few questions for you. Are your discus adult or juvenile? How long have they not been eating? How long ago did you introduce them to thier new home? Was the tank fully cycled when you added them?
Answers to the above questions may help a little in figuring out if you have a problem at all.
