The only thing I do for them is cycle some peat pellets every so often.

Nice discus.....
Also, geekischic, maybe the reason that they aren't being destroyed is that you have such a large, rough, substrate. I believe the way cichlids go about destroying plants is digging them up, and your substrate may be preventing them from doing that. I will say to watch and see if your cichlids are trying to dig it up because if they are, with such a large, rough substrate it could cause damage to the cichlids' mouths.
