Ryan,

I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm sure none of the local reefers intended to sell you the SPS thinking they would not make it in your tank. As others have said before me we are here to help. So if there is anything that we can do to help just drop us a line and we will walk you through your problems. I've seen a few SPS keepers on these boards and many use different husbandry methods. Some methods are for the more advanced (zeo) and some are for the novice. I'm sure I or other can help you find something that is right down your alley if keeping SPS is something you want to venture in to.
