    hi all! there are two of us saying hi from this one screen name, im shaun and my wife andrea is here with me...we are new to the world of saltwater...in fact a few months ago we converted our 55 gallon from a freshwater tank over to a saltwater tank as an early valentine present to our selves...so far our set up consists of a 2" medium grade live sand bed, about 65 lbs of fiji live rock, a cpr bacpac skimmer a karilian (spelling?) wave maker, aquaclear 70, fluval heater, 2 clown fish and our newest addition is a pfo 400w metal halide lamp...we plan on growing some coral once we understand more about keeping them but for now were just taking it slow...im sure we will end up bugging you all with a whole bunch of rookie questions so thsnks in advance
