Daphne,

I wouldn't worry about it too much.
My 180gal planted tank is lit with 3-175 watt MH and is landscaped to give a
lot of open area.
My discus spend most of the day with their nose up against the glass
wondering when the nest feeding is, like any good cichlid.
If there are places where your fish can retreat to, they seem to be more at
ease, and spend more time out in the open.
Keep your water soft and the ph under 7 and the temps above 80.
They are, after all, cichlids and not as hard some folks make then out to
be.

IMVHO
Keith
