    Hello all,
    I am a brand new saltwater fan.  I use to stand firmly on the belief that freshwater was just as exciting.  I still think Cichlids are cool and have a variety of color but they just don't pop out of the tank at you like most saltwater.  I have six 15 gallon tanks connected together with a 30 gallon Sump.  I have a 125 gallon tank that my wife would like to change over to saltwater but it's full of large cichlids.  I am looking for all sorts of live sand to add to what I already have.  My favorite fish I have is a Coral Beauty Angel.   I have a CBB, a Yellow Angel, 6 red spotted pajama cardinals, 3 green chromis, a fire goby, 2 peppermint shrimp, and a plethera of snails and hermit crabs.  I hope to get a buddy list going on this site but I'm not sure how.  Any help (or patience) would be awesome.
    talk to you soon
    Paula and Steve
