My reef Experience so far.

what size tank? Mixing corals isn't USUALLY a problem so long as there's space enough between conflicitng corals, and proper water conditions are maintained... It all depends on what type of look you're going for really. LPS dominant, Softy dominant etc...mixed reefs are not uncommon at all and they can be done in small aquariums, just take a little more thought and planning out.

It's a 28g Nano cube, So far there are only 4 coral in the tank and I have them at opposite sides of eachother. Iv been taking it really slow, and in all honesty I haven't tried any softies in a little bit because they werent doing so well at first. I had a Colt coral and right when I got him he just stayed limp. I had him resting on a rock on my sand bed but because he was soo limp i moved him up on the rocks so things weren't walking on top.. He never did stand up and slowly passed away.

break down the specifics of the tank. I know you said you weren't great a testing levels, hell, neither am I...but usually with regular water changes you should be fine...but just incase, give the tests a once over and post here. Also, what are you running for lights? Stock? usually if your LPS are doing well everything else should follow suit.

Yeup Light is the HQI stock, I'll do some tests in the next couple of days and post back here

you might have too much light for many softies and zoas...

Good point! Placement is key in terms of lighting as well....

Doh heheh, I went with the JBJ instead of the redsea because I figured one day I would be kicking myself for not having enough light. Live and learn
