You got a decent light fixture then, good job! Sounds like you're already on top of getting new bulbs.

Pistol shrimp/gobies aren't hard at all. They will appreciate some areas to build their burrow. Fine sand only doesn't work so well. When I had a pair, I had a mixture of sand and some gravel sized aragonite "sand" which worked pretty well. It's nice to make sure they are getting food via spot feeding, if you have hungry vultures in the tank eating up all the food at feeding time!

Once you get things set up and cycling, you can think about what your QT set up will be. You can go really easy with big plastic containers or a cheap 10 gallon. Doesn't have to be fancy.
