Awesome!!!!!!!!!...except for the ugly smiley...hahahah (not your fault, it's an old scab i like to pick at with the board about the ugly smileys we have).
well that's news to me on the rainbow BTA...never heard of it...but of course google is a pal and here's a pic (assuming no photoshop).
But yours looks really pale in comparison....definitely keep an eye on it. If it is a rainbow that's a nice score. I'm not sure stock PC lights are ideal...
I have a single cardinalfish like this one seen here:

I had originally intended for the tank to have a shoal of them and it didn't pan out. Now that I have two bossy tangs and a bossy clownfish, there is no way I can add...
it's normal for anemones to contract and expand...
however maybe someone else can chime in but I am more concerned about the coloration of your specimen...it seems a little bleached (which would mean it expelled the symbiotic algae in it's body and will have a hard time getting any energy from...
new invert....i didn't think i could have shrimp in my tank because i wasn't sure if they would aggravate my maxima clams or possibly steal the clownfish eggs....but so far so good...
i know they do not come out in daylight so this was my best chance at a quality photograph. Sure enough...

That stated - i was searching for a thread I think Sid (the codfather) started that was a sticky/list of people who had items or could share stuff to help out in the event of a power outtage....like so so has a battery pump to...
i've used this whenever i lost power...$5 well spent.

2 D batteries and it comes with a little airstone/hose and has kept the fish in my 120 alive. Of course if you overstock your tank then you may want more than one.
i recognize that snail from the group buy we did 2 years back...none of them ever stayed in my tank. waste of money. At least this one was escargot for your fish. So the fish made it alive?
my money is on the atb flowstar and bubble blaster....
Of course the house at 80 does cause warmth issues too...Maybe try keeping the house at 79? 78?
of course 78.8 is fine for most tanks...so once you get your new lights - then all maybe fine if you are concerned about the major heat to...
in my opinion the items that cause the most heat in the tank are pumps. So list what powerheads/return pump etc you have. Also double check the heater (or disable it for the summer)
