First off, the summer months are not an issue in our house. It's when the outside temperature drops below, say 40. What happens is that I start to get condensation on my windows. I've learned to live with this. The one issue I do have on very cold days is the coldest room in the...
When I first set up my BioPellet reactor June, 2013, I was told to cover it up because the bacteria preferred darkness. So I took a piece of four inch drain pipe and made a cover for the reactor that even had a door to view the pellets moving:

Karen, did you try the little trick of putting a hole in the bottle trap and squiring some taste food into the bottle with a turkey baster......and leave the turkey baster in that hole and every so often re-squirt water to make a snow-globe effect of the food therein. And mysis seems to work...
John, did you try putting a mirror up against the tank to fool the Powder Blue into thinking there were now two in the tank. I tried unsuccessfully to distract a Yellow this way, but the only thing it did was attract my Long Nose Butterfly, who spent hours displaying his spiked dorsal fin...

The purpose of a deep sand bed is to have an upper aerobic area and a lower anaerobic. This way you can now have both types of bacteria needed to metabolize detritus. Don't disturb the deep part of the sand bed. You can lightly "vacuum" the very top to remove detritus, but don't mix it up.
John, if interested, and not a member of Sam's, they have this 3600 watt generator on Black Friday sale for $200....with ca $15 shipping. Now that's a deal!
Chris, a lot of 55's are tempered glass.....that can't be drilled. It's not all 55's, but you need to determine if it's tempered or not. Do you know how to do that with polarized sunglasses and a white computer screen?
