    What first Anemone or clowns

    I would change the lights... could do way more with the same wattage.. swap out to an 8 bulb (or better) T5HO fixture with individual reflectors. An anenome may or may not thrive under your current lighting.. it's a tall tank and the current lighting may not provide enough PAR where the anenome...

    KH and effects on LPS?

    good deal on that pH... I like keeping my calcium pretty high, but results may vary.. mine is typically 480. I think you'll be fine... just make the LPS tough it out.. lol.. they're way more adaptable than sps.

    nuked my tank :(

    I used the chemiclean before, but you gotta make sure that the top is off the tank and there's plenty of aeration for it.. can't overdose it either.. there is a prescribed amount on the box. if you dumped the whole thing in without measuring it.. eek....

    KH and effects on LPS?

    sps really need the higher KH... the lps will get used to it if you give them time. I am keeping my 15gallon sps dominated tank at 14dKH=5meq/L (up from 12dKH) and my lps and rics on the bottom are ok with it.

    I Cant Seem To Figure This Salt Thing Out! 1.018!!!!!

    use a good refractometer with autocorrection.. you could always take water out of the tank and add salt to it... then put it back in... or top off with salt water for a week or so till it hits the SG you want.
