I think you'll be fine with regard to temperature, but if you are getting juveniles, please read up on discus. They require frequent feedings and water changes to avoid stunting. Try here: http://www.simplydiscus.com

Keeping discus in a 40g can be done, I just wouldn't recommend it. It is preferable to keep discus in schools, which is difficult in small tanks.
