Cardinals are fun, I love my 6 line wrasse and hawkfish too. Gobys are cool also.

Ok get my marineland visit-therm 150 watt heater in the mail today. I'm waiting for it to get adjusted to the tank water. The stealth heater stopped again :-( I don't like the mounting bracket it came with but I can't complain for free lol. I'm gonna slowly bring the tank to 77 degrees. I can't wait until I get my new hob filters

Also picked up 12 gallons of distilled water. I don't have to treat it with water treatment right?
0.88 a gallon at Walmart. Found a I've machine on side of road but they only sell ice? What about spigot on side of building??

That test kit will do everything you need for now. Not sure about the distilled water, haven't used that myself. You shouldn't need to treat it with anything.

Almost looks like a Xenia or maybe just some polyps of some sort. lol I'm kinda guessing here. Maybe a Kenyi tree?

Do any of those suck the finger things back inside when you touch it?
