How big is your 2ft tank? If it is a standard 2ft tank, it will be too small for discus keeping.

normal 2 feet.......only 3 discus thou. 1 dominant big 2 small.

On the safe side is better to used more powerful filter. That is for tolerance. Eheim pro 2224 is the rite size.

I used to have both the 2222 & 2224, find that the 2222 is really slow but quite suitable for a standard 2ft tank.

Cheers!
