Hey Namscam,
Yes, the beginning of my post was harsh, but I think that was appropriate for your actions. If you read all of it, you would notice that I gave you the parameters to check for your water quality. Everybody get's too excited when they get into the hobby, but you were very irresponsible. Then you added insult to injury with the statement "if they die, then it will just cycle the tank quicker". As far as knowing how to take care of your stuff goes, I disagree. Adding livestock before cycling is not taking care of your tank. It looks like you have a pretty good start as far as rock and sand goes, what about lighting, and filtration? This forum is a very good resource, and I along with everybody will be happy to help you and give you advice, but you will also get harsh criticism if you doom the inhabitants of your tank, knowingly or unknowingly. Mike

Namscam,
If I can offer one piece of advice-Take it SLOW There's a saying in this hobby that has alot of versions but it means the same thing- "most things happen fast in a reef for the wrong reason, and the right things take time" In this hobby you can never be too prepared or educated, so read lot's, ask lot's, read lot's and take your time, as going too fast will always lead you into trouble
