just research everything first before u add it to ur tank.... each coral and fish has serperate demands and needs and u have to make sure ur tank meets those criterias....
i wasted alot of $ in the begging when i just listened to the advice of my local fish store but now i research it all first
good luck

u r wright about every thing that u said, every thing that u purchase u should study first.
i understand all of that, and i am not that new to the aquarium world. i have had a fresh water aquarium now for a wile i just took it down so i could put up a saltwater aquarium. my dealer who works at my lfs is the smartist man that you could ever meat in the salt water world i am follow his steps step by step and i understand everything, like i said before, i have been reaserching on this same website for about 4 months now and i have seen many of your posts. i totaly agree with all of the things that u say.
