Anytime!
I do suggest you start doing all the research you can about how to maintain a healthy marine tank.
Here is a great start.http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/marineaquarium/

Welcome to AC! Good luck with the tank!

Well come to AC as well, and best of luck. Hell I had started keeping a gallon tank fully stocked, and didn't even cycle it on my first tank. Funny enough, I still have most of those fish :P (All the rasbora and CAE!)

i may have created a boo boo, my tank has been up now for 3 or 4 days. On the 3rd day i put 2 damsels in there. I know you are supposed to let it cycle for alot longer than that but... girlfriends idea not mine. Is that ok?

[Bristley]

ok, I'm definitely not the SW guy on this forum but someone just posted about a similar situation/question earlier today and I read that so I can pass on a little bit of info for you.

You should not cycle a SW aquarium with fish. Damelfish are pretty hardy and they may survive but again you should not cycle a SW aquarium with fish.

Here is the thread/sticky where they discussed cycling marine tanks.
