Reply With QuoteOrder a regular 48" fluorescent light strip, and a 10000K bulb. Way less than $100, plenty of light for the tank, the hint of blue in the 10000K will make the colors stand out, and you won't do any better for the money.

Lights?
I have been doing so much reading about lighting that my eyes are ready to pop out.
I don't have a light fixture yet. The room for my fish is almost completely dark. Not sure yet what color discus I will be getting (probably red/orange/yellow/white?). I can't afford an expensive $500 lighting system. What LED or whatever do you recommend and amount of bulbs? I am looking for that BAM bright colors aquarium effect rather than subdued. Tank is 75 gal. Anything from DrsF&S? Thanks, Christian

If you have a canopy or are willing to DIY, a Power Compact (PC) retro-fit kit might be a good option. Fairly cheap, easy to setup, multiple bulbs to "dial in" the light you are looking for:
