Hi Confusedfishy, It's a pretty simple setup really.....
I have two Powerglo tubes, one 12" 8w on from 7am - Midnight and one 30" 30w on from 2pm - 11pm.

Most will say it's way under powered light wise (It's an 18" deep tank) but I have plenty of Vallis, a few anubias and a mini lotus too and they all grow fine! The Discus hate anything brighter. It's funny what works for some doesn't work for others. *???

Anyway, hope this helps......
And you can't go wrong with the Discus!
