Thanks very much everyone. We would have responded earlier but we were too busy reading all the good pointers.
We did become members a couple of days ago, so we're excited to see what cool stuff we can get from you guys. We figured we would take the time to post some info on what we're trying to do here and hopefully we'll get more good information.
-We live in the Columbia, MD area (21045). So any word on good LFS to check out would be greatly appreciated.
-We have a never been used 35-gallon hex tank that we're going to use. We're not dancing for change on the corner but we don't want to spend millions on our first tank. We're looking to do a fish only set up with live rock (and some live sand too). We know we're going to be limited as to what fish we can get but we are excited to get into the hobby and branch out from what we have at a later point.
-We would really appreciate info on canister filters, live rock/sand, fish, heater, etc. so please, if you have the time and are willing to share some wisdom, we do appreciate it.
Thanks again for everyone's time and we will be checking out this forum and all of the other goodies we are able to access from this site on a regular basis. Thanks again!!
