Greetings from the Mitten!

Greetings fellow reef enthusiasts! My name is Emily and I am new to the forum. Currently my sister Erika and I are new to the hobby and we both have 10 gallon tanks and are looking to upgrade. I actually have two tanks right now, a biocube 8 and a regular 10g. My 10g is my first tank that I started out with, it is housing one false percula clown along with several snails (margarita, serinth, turbo, narcisus, and a couple bumble bees) and some star fish. As for corals I have one leather (not sure exactly what it is... its purple...), a really nice long tentacle toadstool, a trumpet (not sure exactly what species again..) a small zenia, two heads of hammer coral, a blue devil's hand (I think its a type of leather), a couple mushrooms, a rock of star polyps, a kenya tree or two, and a small frag of yellow zoanthids. Oh and I can't forget my teeny tiny green bubble tip anenome. I also have between 10-15 lbs of live rock. I know it sounds like a lot but its just waiting for the new tank to get set up. I already have the tank, its a 29 biocube. (any thoughts on the tank? I've heard good things...) The story behind the biocube 8 is that I found an add for it on craigslist, the owner was selling it and everything in it for $75... which, once I saw everything in there, I just couldn't refuse. So now it sits in waiting to all be put together in the 29. (which is getting set up either tomorrow or Friday. I can't wait!!)

As for my sister, she also has a regular 10g and is looking to upgrade to either 20 or 29 as well. I'm not exactly sure what corals she has, I know she has a hammer and a frog spawn, a green leather, zenia, kenya trees and a small toadstool. We have the same snails and starfish. However, she has a mandarin, orange firefish and a damsel (I think its a damsel)...

Anyways, I'm really looking foreward to using the forum! I'm pretty new at this and I could really use some help. Thanks for reading!
