Well,

First of all welcome to Maast,

The sand should/will settle down soon, try to figure out whats kicking up your sand and move it away. All should have been settled by now.

In regards to the fish, we started off with Mexican Turbo Snails and 5 Green Chromis, the 2nd week that the tank was set up.. Along with soft corals. Everyone did okay. I hope that all yours will be okay..

Again ask all the questions you want. I just started in Novemeber and I still ask alot of questions.

Also do a progress thread, that would help us help you if any problems arise, and when you look back 6 months from now you will be greatly impressed on how much your tank has come along. Its all worth while..

Again welcome to maast!
