1. I think you have the answer. I'd concern about silver paint chips too. 2. Sooner or later, the rack will be covered with coraline.
A battery powered air pump would be nice. pH swing is your biggest problem, not temperature.
I'm glad yours fight off ich. I waited 2 days after the first sign of ich because they were eating, hoping they can beat ich themselves. Then I lost...
You will need filter from an established tank like filter sponges. If you don't have any, you might want to sacrifice a few live rocks. Follow...
I don't really know what your question is. I assume your question is how to get rid of ich? The best way is to quarantine ALL fish and treat them...

The claws are small though.
I can see the crab but almost impossible to ID. :)
Better pic would be nice. It looks like "find hidden object" game picture.
Contrary to some belief about schooling chromis, they are less likely to school (like you see in discovery channel) in home aquarium. If you can...
2 clowns first - they are hardy and good as starter fish (they may become territorial but percula clowns are less aggressive than some other clowns)...
