2 nano tanks need to combine this week. My 12G Mr. Aqua rectangle shape tank, and a 6.6G Edge tank.
This is "temporary" until I find the right deal on a nicer SW 35 Gallonish tank.
My options were a 20G long /20G H or my 46G Bowfront.
Just for the ease of care for 3 fish I picked the 46G bowfront. It is a nice looking tank and just sitting in my living room empty.
I need to make RO water for the tank. I have some salt / been buying prepared SW from the store because I don't need much of it.
Also I have a 36" basic light for the tank a Beamswork blue white.
And a too long 48" Orbit Marine used by someone for only a few months before they got a new tank.
Also rather not make an algae farm out of the tank either.
My only other light for SW atm is a PAR 38W.
Last night picked up a 20G bag of CaribSea Alive Black Hawaiian sand and already had some maybe 20 lbs in the 12G. Reg. 29.99 for $16.19 Love price matching. Need one more bag I think since I am using a bigger tank (was gonna be a 20G) than initially thought.
Also side note I have a Rubbermaid tote still cycling 50 lbs of rock since early fall. (6 - 7 months maybe). Feeding it fish food every week or 2. Was better about feeding it months ago Feel like for 3 months was very good at that. Last few winter months not as good. So maybe not a super good bacteria colony.

Living things
Fish
2 Blue Green Chromis and
Should I get a bunch
one 5+ yellow Clown Goby.
Would like a few more in time
Corals
Just a hand full of corals
Yellow Polyps Colony 1 small, 1 medium
Cabbage Leather sm-med
Rock Flower Anemone
Couple Duncan Frags
3-4 surviving heads of Frogspawn
Couple Pinwheels polyps
Double Blue Scroll Chalice frag
Purple and orange Lepestrea frag
Red Flower pot Frag back from thought to be dead
Tiny Purple and Green Fungia/Plate Coral size of a dime
A bunch of heads of the Electric Green Candy Cane that was dying and threw off all the tops (anyone know what I can do for them) now they are just laying around the tank little bright green dots. We had a sad period with the alk being too low.
I think there is a mushroom or 2 but not positive if it is hiding or dead.
Plants
A big bunch of Black Codium,
A decent size ball and a smaller clump of Chaetomorpha
Inverts
Mexican Turbo snails 2-3
Handful of nassarius snails
2 Nerites
Dwarf Planaxis some, they are so tiny
Limpets who knows, I see them on the glass all the time.
Dwarf Ceriths a few
Zig Zag Periwinkles Most were eaten by Hermits I think
Maybe a couple of Hermits
Tiny Feather dusters /tubes the size of a pencil lead
Had a small Blue Banded Coral shrimp (gets~1 inch) Always hiding too.
and a regular color Pistol shrimp (which I always would think was dead but would find him in his home under the rocks the past 3-4 tank changes (several years). It has been so long I would think he passed away by now.
Haven't seen the last Sexy shrimp or the Pom Pom crab for a long while.
