Even with cash, buying big colonies, unless you have all the right ingredients, you'll have a bunch of big brown colonies within 2 weeks.

I would say a good plan to do water change.
Most people forgot it when setting up a new tank.

I agree with water changes. I've been doing weekly minimum 40-45 gallon water changes since I started my SPS tank in August 09. The only time I've missed is when I've gone on 12 day vacations. I would say that my aquarium is pretty successful - good colours, good growth and hasn't crashed yet (knock on wood).

You can have the best possible tank but if you don't know the right people you will never get the first dibs on all the nicest corals.
