I was disgusted the other day when I walked into a Klamoth Falls, OR fish store. They were selling 1/2 gallon saltwater tanks, with a tomato clown and a ANEMONE!!! The lady said they had sold several dozen of the setup. This was disturbing to me, the clown had no room at all! I have seen these...

I just finished a DIY hood for my 35 gallon hex, and installed a little 12 v. fan in the side to prevent overheating. Nowever, I was wondering whether I should leave it pointing out so hot air is sucked out of the hood, or have it pointing in so it is blowing air in?
