i think id be too scared to run a heater on a thin plastic tank, hasnt melted yet?

Having the heater in that tank is no different than running a heater in the AC500 refugium it came out of. Eclipse acrylic tanks are no thicker (actually thinner) than this tank and heaters do fine in them.

i was always scared of one melting so i just got a glass one built.

Hey ottafocus, great tank!! I don't think the heater would do any damage, those little tanks can take quite a bit. I'll be following your thread (miss my little tank

)

So far nothing had changed with this tank, Im probably going to pick up some sexies if I can find them anywhere.
What do you suggest I drop in there Aquariumgirl?

From what I have read about these gobies they do not do very well in our tanks unless you plan to run a cooler tank. They come from Catalina Island region around LA so they are used to a cooler temperature. If you go to Steve Weast's cold water tank he has them in there and they are very cool but not for a typical marine tank.

Well I finally decided on an inhabitant for this tank.
I picked up a green mantis shrimp today. He is quite small, I have yet to get a pic of him. So stay tuned.
