Default Slightly Discouraged!

Having put a lot of time and energy into researching methodologies and technicalities of beginning and maintaining a saltwater aquarium, I find myself slightly discouraged early on.

I read that the equipment I have is probably a bit of a waste, that I actually need more than I anticipated, that my current payroll cannot support it (!), etc. I'm sure these are feelings some fellow aquarists have experienced.

I guess I'd like to know, straight up...what do I NEED to have (equipment, food(s), additives, etc.) if I'm maintaining a 50 gallon tank with fifty pounds of live rock, 6-8 fish, and a host of LPS corals? Everyone has opinions (which are valid) on what is the best for this or that, but what is essential?

Would appreciate any and all feedback. Thanks!
