Warning this story may cause stress or panic, If your an OCD planner! Proceed at your own risk!!!!

Decided to take palys out of main tank. I threw them in 10 gallon and started this unplanned journey.

10gal aqueon, Fluvall Nano 2.0 20 watt light, Seachem 50 HOB, Jager 75w Heater. Left over rock,

Variety of palys, Zoas, Xenia, duncan, monti, green trumpet, 1 mushroom, Stomtella, 1 astrea, a couple blue legs crabs, Orange snowflake and wyoming white clowns, and 1 springiri damsel.

First Pic below was pre HOB.

LoL yes reading how so many here plan and create for months and I just threw stuff in a tank. I did order a filter be here in a couple days.

It will surely be a bumpy road

...and (more importantly) it can be a great road for learning!
 
Added a hob tidal 50 really like the surface skimming and water cleaning. It’s a tiny bit big for this 10gallon but maybe the 10 will grow to a 20. Rearranged love rock a little more.
 
Starting to like the way it’s coming together. Think I’m going to pick up a pair of clowns

What kind of clowns are you going to get?
 
Nano was relocated to desk so can enjoy it more. These two were added. Still rearranging things.

Nano update. Like the HOB hate the blue knob and heater holder. What were they thinking. New fish seem to be doing well thus far. Keep rearranging stuff.

 
Nano is starting to look better. little clown is still spitting out the food but seems like it’s getting closer to eating. Big clown and Springiri are doing well and thus far not much aggression.

 
Smaller clown is going after food but spitting it out. I hope it starts eating soon! Larger clown is eating good.
 
Time for update! Both clowns eating well now. And things seem to be settling in. Can’t say I’m seeing growth but all corals seem stable.

Corals at bottom appear less than optimum this light at 100% all channels except cayan at 70% and about 5” above glass.

 
Just saw a bristle worm crawl out of his hidey hole. They are kinda cool when they are small like that.
