Just a thought, but is there anything wrong with keeping a pair of angels, a pair of discus, a some rummynose/cardinal tetras, and some sterbai corydoras in a large tank like a 75 or 55 gallon tank hooked up to a wet/dry sump? I might be watching too many youtube aquarium videos, but I don't see what's wrong with angelfish and discus in the same tank?

Angels and Discus should be able to be kept together, as the angels can live in discus conditions just fine, but you are going to need a bigger tank than 75g. Keep in mind adult sizes of these fish, and healthy specimens will grow pretty quickly from the size you get at the shop.
Cichlids like to pair up, and will need space to establish territory. My single pair of angels in my 60g control half the tank now that they are adults. You would also need visual breaks throughout the tank so that the discus weren't harassed to bits if the angels spawn. You'd also have to be sure to offer food at both ends of the tank to be sure the discus got enough to eat.
Unless you can get a sorority of both to prevent breeding behavior, I think you would need a very large tank. As long as you can provide adequate space, you could probably make it work.
