    That might be asking for trouble because engineers get so big. Don't have any experience but from what I have read this sounds like it could be trouble. Hopefully a goby person will chime in.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Engineer gobies are not actually gobies. Completely different family. In a tank that large you should have no problems.
