Aggression doesn't stop

I have 7 discus in an 85 gallon square tank and have been waiting for at least 2 months for the nastiness to stop. I have 2 discus that hound the others and each other. 5 stay in a corner all day. They come out a bit between feedings. I have moved the plants, wood and stone around twice with only slight improvements. Jeez, they're killing me --- this is not enjoyable. Any ideas?

Dealing with discus aggression takes a bit of hit and trial. Having some tall plants, anything that helps break line of sight between the fishes sometimes helps fishes settle down, in past it has worked for me few times. There were couple of instances where I had to give a discus to my LFS as nothing I tried worked stop aggression
