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?
