Do you think a Discus could adpat to hard water conditions and more basic pH levels than what is ideal for them? Lets say around 7.8pH? Also around 10.5 grains per gallon or 150-300ppm hardness?

Captive bred discus can adapt rather easily to such water conditions. Your good source would be a local breeder in your area.

How well would a single Discus do in a 120gal with community tropical fish?

It would be best if they are kept in a group. 4 is the minimum for a group unless you can find a bonafide pair.

thats what ive heard, they like groups, but a loner would survive right?

A loner is likely to shy away and starve which is why I suggested a group rather than an individual.
