Lighting is an issue 100%, also the water is not mature enough.

Keep an Nem in a pico will be tough, as he will cause changes to the water when feeding/pooping. You will really need to keep on top of it,

so my 31 fluval spec light isnt enough for him or is too much for him, he looks alot better today. The tank though was sitting at 83.7!!!!!!! when i came home so Im cooling it off right now! everyone seems to be doing ok though so hopefully its not too drastic for them. Im thinking i need a cooler, where and how would i Fins on for a pico?

A fan might be enough to cool it off a couple of degrees. I picked mine up at Ocean Aquatics here in Calgary. I know I've seen them other places, I'm just not sure where at the moment.

If that doesn't work, search for "nano chillers" or 'micro chillers" and you should get some good options. The "Ice Probe" is a nice little DIY chiller that is quite popular, but there are other (non-DIY) options, too.

I just picked up small desk fans from walmart that come with a clip, got one hanging getto style off my lights on my 55gl and one on my sump on the 180 gl. More than enough to cool the tanks down.
