Don't worry poppy, the discus will still get thier rest even if you decide to go 24/7 lighting. It doesn't affect them at all.

It doesnt have to be the main aquarium light poppy you can put a lamp next to the tank as a small night light.

Something like that wouldn't be bright enough, unless it was right next to the tank. A small table lamp with a shade would be good.

okay but if i was to use a 2 foot tank as my breeding tank... is it too much light if i just left the 2 foot fluro running??
Also... what exactly else is needed??
Just the breeding cone and the sponge filter... what else goes in the sponge filter???
obviously a heater is still needed and all too.
Matt.

And that's it Matt. Nothing else. The simpler the better. You will be doing lots of water changes in that tank, so you want to make things easy for yourself.
You can leave the tank light on if you don't have anything else, but perhaps shade one end of it with cardboard to cut down the glare.
