Default Marine Fish - Newbie!

Hello,

New to the group AND marine fishkeeping!

I had a fairly small marine aquarium installed about 45 minutes ago, the
local fish shop installed and filled with water, added the salt and setup
the filter etc. I am hoping to find someone to maintain on a monthly basis
for me, I will pay of course, however I would also like ot know what's what!


I purchased the tank not knowing anything and trusted the local fish shop to
give me a "good setup" for the four or five fish I want to keep.

The aquarium measures:
30 inch length x 12 inch wide x 18 inch deep.

The only filter installed is a Penn-Plax Cascade 700 Canister Filter.

The base in the tank isnt sand, it appears to be crushed coral or crushed
shells.

Not sure what kind of lighting tube is installed, printed on the tube it
says Sylvania Standard F18W 154-T8 daylight.

Anyway, looking for any info on the above equipment, is it any good? Does
the filter I have deal with this "Chloramine"?

I paid £330 GBP for all the equipment and setup I am advised to add living
rock in 4 or 5 days and then marine fish in a few weeks.

Gary.
