Hello all! My name is Priscilla and I am very new to aquarium owning, we can round up and say a week. I had a bit of a panic yesterday and managed to find the forum, post in invertebrates (http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=13710813#post13710813), and beg for help all in a matter of hours. 
Now that I feel the crisis has been adverted (one can hope) I wanted to introduce myself. I am a 26 year old who was recently engaged and my fiance and I who live in Green Mountain bought our first tank a week ago. I dabbled in fresh water tanks in college and had been thinking about picking up the hobby for a while and after searching Craig's List for a bit we found a 72 gallon bow front that called to me and I ended up getting an early Christmas present. Of course the thing was practically already full of salt water fish so instead of starting with fresh and having to convert to salt (which I knew I wanted to do eventually) we have plunged right into our first salt water tank. Of course I have no idea what I am doing other than reading a LOT to hopefully make up for some of my sub-par skills. As of right now I have water cycling in the tank and have been adding a scoop of salt every hour which I planned on doing until the salinity evened out appropriately. Oh yeah last night I also setup a quarantine tank (which I have gathered the acronym for is QT?) with some hermit crabs, but that's a(whole)nother store and feel free to check it out and throw any recommendations about that in here as well.
Anyhow I hope I get to know some of you well and you all don't mind me asking lots and lots of silly questions over the months.
