Uh oh- Pete's on the prowl. As far as some of the questions you asked- temp for juvies should be kept around 84-86. Substrate doesn't matter so it's preference but i personally like sand for all my tanks. And I'll let the master handle the rest.

i might need to turn down the heat then i have it at 88 or so

Sounds good. But I like to keep my basses lights on 24/7, just for the fact that to get them use to being "stressed" ( heavy traffic in the house, new people that look at them, turning on and off the lights, and so on). That is what I do with all my bass.

As for temp, keep it at 86-88, food...guppies is what I would use...guppies with a belly food of crushed flakes (omega ones).
