No point in quitting just because it gets tough for you. Save up your money, and like Lion Crazz stated, do your homework before setting a tank up. He's also definitely right about using proper (halide) lighting for a tank with anemones and reefs. The reason for this is because anemones and corals are in mutualistic symbiosis with algae (called zooxanthellae) that live inside of and photosynthesize the food for the anemones and corals. Everyone wants a new hobbyist to succeed and stick with the hobby, because it's another person who wants to learn about marine science, bioconservation, and what role we can play to both educate the public and play our part to conserve the world's coral reefs. As saltwater aquarists, we have a responsibility to learn how to do things the right way before trying them if at all possible, because unlike freshwater fish, there are not many species of saltwaters that have been bred in captivity. We still depend on wild populations for the most part. Conservation of saltwater fish is going to depend in large part on some of the things that we as hobbyists learn. The Banggai Cardinal is a prime example. In the wild, it is a threatened species, on the verge of becoming endangered. But because it is a very hardy species in captivity, easily bred and tank-raised, there's hope that a captive breeding program can be implemented that would allow for reintroduction into the wild in areas where the Banggai can recolonize. That wouldn't be possible without hobbyists getting involved and learning about its behavior and mating habits.
