Sometimes though, the tank might be a little cold. Should I get a heater just in case?

you definetly need heaters to keep it at 81F or so... i just meant they dont need to be mega heaters if it was to be outside........

Next is the cover. Could I make my own, or is there some place to get them?

Could you PM the name to me when you find it? Once you find that then the only thing left is substrate, rocks, and stocking. If I get rays, I'll need a finer substrate. Is that bad for any fish? It doesn't seem harmful, but just to be sure. And what is lava rock filtration??

if its too fine it will get sucked up by the filters and its very hard on the pumps.

sorry for no update in a week, internet was down and I'm using sister's computer. I'll have it back on my normal computer hopefully soon. I'm trying to connect a cord to my computer, but it took me about 45 minutes to get it. Luckily I found a little grabber that I use for grabbing snails in my tanks. And for the monster tank persuasion, no progress since last time.
