    Hi all! Just took the leap from fresh to marine and figured it was time to do some reading. Thanks in advance for all the stupid questions already posted and answered, plus the ones yet to come.

    I've been lurking for a couple of weeks and thought I shouold get legitimate.

    I have had a 55 fresh water for about 7 years. I haven't lost a fish to anything but another fish in a few years, so I thought I'd make this hobby a challege again. Angels, Parrot, palmus, barbs, tri-color, blue lobster, cat...

    The wife knew I had been thinking saltwater for some time and gave me a bag of salt for x-mas (i.e. green light). I don't think she knew what she was getting into. The good news is that I am using the 20g that we had in the garage which was her intention. What she didn't know was it would be in the stand ;D. I now have a new 65g w/20g sump, Coralife Super Scimmer, about 40 lb of rock (& counting) and my sand that I just put in my cloudy tank :kiss:
