    I did have a baby true percula in there , but it kept trying to host my hammer frag I have in there. So I took him out and put in my other tank.

    Wow!!! Cant wait to get my tank looking as nice as your 3 gal!!!

    I would pull the heater though (just my opinion). It wouldn't take much to cook everything in your tank if you had a heater mishap....

    I don't run a heater on my 10 gallon quarantine, and have never seen it go below 78 degrees with just 1 power head in it.

    Heaters scare me! :-/
