I agree with Mike 100%.
When I first started out with LR and two Clowns... I was confused enough (and I'm not saying you're new to the hobby). Then I started seeing pictures of corals, and instantly.. I wanted them all! haha. Then I realized you need proper lighting, then proper reef chemistry, then this, that and the other thing. What it all comes down to, is reading, and research. Ask questions , no matter what they are... someone will be here to help. It's not worth losing a bunch of corals, and money... in the end, you'll just end up coming back to do the reading and research. I jumped in way too quickly myself... bought a big zoo rock (which thrived.. becuase, they're zoos!) and a hammer. Because I didn't know anything about calcium , or alk, pH, etc.... the hammer just died on me right away. Anyways, by no means should this come across as an attack towards you, it's actually the complete opposite. We're trying to save you hassle, and money... and after all, what's a half hour of reading anyhow? Good luck to you! Cheers.
