Thanks all!
Lesley, the temperature of the tank never rises more than a degree or two when we cook. We turn on the oven fan and place a cookie sheet between the tank and the stove. I have a digital thermometer on the tank that alerts if it ever goes above 83. This has happened about a half dozen times (not as a result of cooking) and all we do is drop the AC down a bit. Originally when the tank was set up there was a heat issue from the lighting. I installed the clip-on fan over the fuge and that was more than enough. Now the tank temp fluctuates between 80 and 82. Air circulation does plenty.
royalshrimp, any goby WILL NOT pair with any pistol. The Gobiidae family (which includes gobies) has more species than any other marine fish family. There are , however, MANY possible combinations. Investigate these and see which you like, and also try and buy the two already paired, although this isn't necessary (as in my case they were bought seperately).
Sammy thanks! I really appreciate that! I am very happy SWF.com has the nano forum now. It deserves it's own forum as many ideals are different, and you avoid the "nano-naive" people that say "You can't really keep a coral in a 10... try a hermit crab!"
Peanut... I will take some pics this week to demonstrate, although it is very simple. The ACs have that plastic cover, which is what I drilled. The Minijets fit in the filter empty with no adjustments. I just had to drill the plastic top to fit the outlet of the powerhead, which is 1/2" silicone tubing...
