Default Newbie looking for a mentor and ID

Hi all

I am just starting out my reefing experience and would like to find someone in the SW (Shawnessey) area that would be willing to pop over and look at my tank and tell me what I am doing right and wrong, give advice and generally slap me upside the head when I need it.

Rigth now I am listening to the LFS's advice which generally contradicts every other LFS's advice.

After going to ALL?? the LFS I have found that the only one that hasn't steered me in the wrong direction (or recommended "bad" beginner things) is Albert @ Gold's. But trying to get him slowed down enough is pretty tough because he seems to be sooooooooo busy.

Anyway I am just looking for general advice.

Here is my setup:

8 month old 29 Gallon
aprox. 35 lbs of live rock( doesn't look like that much).
4 - T5 6500K 24W
1 - T5 Actinic
Seio Super flow 820 pump (was an Eheim 1224, but was told that it didn't have enough water flow.Looks much better now.)
HOB Coral life 65 Super Skimmer

2 inch Sand bed
All tests seem to be in proper range.

Now for livestock (of course I forgot to write down what they were so ID would be great):

1 fish ??????
3 coral frags that were recommended as easy keeping(true so far).
1 bigger coral(easy keeping too).
1 Bristle Star

I have pictures but the kids seem to have misplaced the cable to upload them.


Thanks in Advance

Glenn
