Where can I find breeding cones? & BBS for baby discus? My discus laid again, getting ready for either fish or the cone in case they need something to lay the eggs on anotehr time.

What's the cone for? I've seen it before and never knew exactly what it's for.

The fish lay the eggs on it. But you can also use a cheap flower pot from the gardening center.

Yeah, the Rosenthal Pottery is great. I have one of their pleco caves and the veggie weight. I didn't really look at the prices on there, but I think prices the have on Aquabid are very reasonable.
The pleco cave I got was 4.99 with a bonus veggie weight. I forget how much shipping was, but I think the total was between $10 and $12. Everything looked great and the packing material was great. My plecos love it! I'm sure their discus things are great too. Everything I've seen looks quite nice.

I got the same pots as 2tankAdmin and they cost about $3.00.
No real need for any kind of spawning substrate. Discus will spawn on the glass.

We are having 5000 made as we speak out of plastic composite that is 100% safe for aquariums I will have pricing after production.

LOve the PVC idea, can't find the right suction cups, to use with the PVC pipe.
