So Ive got a heater in my tank that keeps the temp at 80, so I know it doesnt get too cold, but during the summer, or when its hot outside, it gets hot in my house, and the temp rises in my tank. What can I do to stop this or make the temp less likely to fluctuate. My tank is not next to a...

So I finally got my tank cycled fully, and everything is good, but now Im moving soon...will this ruin my cycle? Im sure Ill have to take out 80% of the water to move the tank, its a 29g.

I went to the LFS and they can get me a custom built stand for $160. I was wondering if I could build one myself for cheaper. Also Im not sure what type of wood I should use, I was thinking white pine 2x4's for legs and braces. Not sure what to use for the face/back and two sides...or the top...
