pistol shrimp are good with gobys and will put one antenna on them and never leave its side.

i think there are probably different kinds of pistol shrimps and that temperature of the sun firing ones aren't common at the LFS... besides that i haven't heard of them going after fish.. but like any shrimp it'll fight and or kill other shrimp..

plumb with pvc. As for the two holes there are several things you can do. You can have it drop to a fuge and the other to your sump. You can also buy a y however you will have to make sure the two ends are 1 inch that goes to a 2 inch. But if you ask me that is a lot of pipe. My 1 inch pipe drops 700gph.

i think i might make a sump with the refugium on the left and the sump part on the right and the return in the midle. sounds like the best idea to me...

pistol shrimp are nothing to worry bout. I've had mine for years without problems and many other people have as well.

That stand looks really nice! I wish I had the skills to make something like that! lol

I really like the color too! Its gonna look great when its all set up. Maybe down the line you can make a custom canopy to match it.
