    Lots of uz have wood in our tanks, but it takes effort to get the ph so low, so your test kit is wrong or you've got something else happening.
    Fish will live in almost any conditions if they adjust to it slowly, low or high ph, high ammonia, anything!
    But eventually they give up!
    Yours look like they've stopped fighting for life.

    If you do regular water changes, with town water, and town waters ph is usually 7.2 - 7.8 then your doing lots wrong elsewhere. Discus (unless wilds) thrive anywhere between 6.5 and 7.5. They don't need extreme ph values and probally aren't used to it.

    Is that like saying every time l hit my head against the wall it hurts till l stop?
    Guess what? Time to stop!
    Let them have normal water conditions, ph 7 iz good for most fish, discus included, stop with the ph down.

    Turning it to acid doesn't seem to be impressing your fish.
    7.8 will go to 7ish just by being in your tank
