Thanks I’m still trying to figure out what’s the plan with the aquascape/corals.
I have 3 tanks I’m setting up.
15 gallon - possibly SPS tank with a mix of LPS?
3.8 gallon - softies Zoas mushrooms ?
2 gallon shallow - rock flower anemones?

Oh I thought it was an aquarium stand, I like the openess, it looks good! but I didn't see a weight rating or recommendation, remember saltwater weighs 8.6lbs ×15=129lbs of water weight.
I’m mean there was this answer, lol.
Q: How much weight will this hold?
Answer this question
A: Well my husband can sit on top of it and he weighs 175 pounds. Very sturdy and well made. Assembly takes about one half an hour but nice furniture

These images are the "3.8 lifeguard Pico." This will be a softie/Zoa tank, as planned. The other piece of tiny equipment, a 2 gallon UNS shallow, does have an LED light and filter. The light came from a 1-gallon lifeguard AIO that I'm not currently using. I wonder if that 6.5w light is powerful enough to keep anything alive. If not, I'll purchase a second Nicrew 30W.

sounds like an excellent plan! just stay consistent with sps and dont chase numbers. I was never able to keep sps in nanos cuz of the fluctuations. However, in larger tanks I had in the past, SPS thrived because it was just a more stable water volume

I would. It doesn’t look like very much light for the footprint of the tank.
