Narrative:

While executing a visual approach; we selected 'gear down' and received a 'gear disagree' red cas/master warning. We immediately recycled the landing gear with the same result. We then executed a missed approach/go around; advised ATC of our situation and the need for vectors to run appropriate checklists. We accomplished the QRH for 'gear disagree' and manually extended the gear. With a gear down and locked indication; we called maintenance and informed them of our condition. Next; we declared an emergency with ATC and to have emergency equipment standing by; because the QRH read that nose wheel steering may be inoperative after touchdown. We then notified the flight attendant of our situation and that; the gear was down and locked; but due to the possibility of no steering after touchdown; we would be executing a brace for landing. Due to the amount of time that all of this took; we had now burned into our reserve fuel; in light of the additional low fuel situation; we put our attention to getting the aircraft on the ground expeditiously. Due to our need set up and quickly brief a different approach; we never had an opportunity to inform the passengers of our situation/plan. We executed the brace at approximately a three mile final. The touchdown and roll out were uneventful. The emergency equipment was dismissed and the passengers were then briefed. Taxi in to the gate was also uneventful.
