Update:
Everything is doing great, my new bicolor blennie is doing great. I turned off my big PH until i can make sure it doesnt kill any more fish, my blennie is really taking a liking to it, most of the time i find him sitting in the PH with nothing but his head sticking out. I am going to have to get some pictures of this it is too good to miss sharing.

Hey man till you ca get the tank moved get a small fan and have it turn on during the hottest part of the day or when the lights are on. Just have it blow across the top of the tank. They really do work. it is always cheaper to have the heater turn on then to have everything die. When I had my 10 gallon up with a 150 watt MH on it all I did was get a small fan from wally world and it kept the tank at 79 all the time. It will help. Also the tank is looking good. I love the aquascape. With the powerhead. Get some foam. If you go to any LFS or Petstore get the foam inserts that go in the AquaClear filters. Make a small cut in one end ad slide the foam over the intake.

now that the air is up and running my tank is staying right at 81 with the lights on, warmer than i would like it but not killing everything. I have an extra foam pad for the aqua clear, i will give that a try tonight. thanks for the compliment of the aqua scape

HELP!!! the slime is back and is driving me crazy!!!!! i cant get rid of it, i've tried the slime treatments and sucking out all that i could find, but it still comes back!

i solved the problem with the bubbles on the rocks the lace rock i was seeding was getting so much light that it was growing algae like crazy, i am pretty sure that is what made the slime come back as much as it did any ideas how to get rid of it?
