Well you're in the right place for starters!
I'd recommend starting with some research first. Get to know your current equipment (from the photos on my phone it looks like a very decent set up) and become comfortable doing maintenance and understanding what is good/bad in terms of safety. The first thing I would recommend is that you get yourself some test kits (if you don't already) and make your way into one of your local fish stores. Get your parameters tested (pH, ammonia, nitrate, nitrite to start) so you know where you're starting from. Edmonton has a vibrant and thriving reefing community, there are incredible resources in your area for you to draw upon. After that then consider adding yourself some fish to enjoy. I'd take you up on your offer but I'm a touch far. Do you skype?

Thank you Michika
I bought the stuff used and of course doesn't come with any manuals LOL but I have been doing my water changes and I have purchased a new heater and controller for that and my temp is spot on now. I do have a huge test kit, but I have been taking water samples over to the store to have tested since I was in the area. I also need to get my refrac calibrated.

Hard to believe that someone can post a topic asking what a corporation is on a reef site and get almost a 100 replies and 2500 views.
But I can only get 4 people to comment and not one that is interested in FREE food and Drinks Crazy !!!!

My first recommendation would be to set up a quarantine tank. It is useful for not only preventing disease, but also acclimating new fish. Use the hyposalinity method (don't use copper).
http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/...t-process.html http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2007/6/fish A first fish that I like is the Azure Damsel. It is hardy, easy to feed, colourful, and peaceful (unlike some other Damsels). Good luck, and welcome to Canreef. Do some searching on various topics,... wealth of information available. But as always, strive for understanding, and don't just listen to popular opinion.
