    Just wanted to introduce myself, ive been lurking around for the last couple weeks and have found lots of useful information to help me get my tank started. So far i have a 55-gal with bio-ball filtration, 40-lbs of live sand, 20-lbs of live rock, and just added 3 damsles today! Cant wait to get things rolling but i know to take it slow, i have lots to learn from everyone here! ;D;D;D
