Hi First Reef Tank but not First Salt Water Experience

Hi Everyone! I'll go ahead and tell a little about my Aquarium experience and such so here it goes =-D.

I have had a 40 gallon Eclipse Aquarium for around 7 years now. When I first started I had a passion for the Highly Agressive fish, including a Snow Flake Eel, Violeta LionFish(Spelling?heh), Foxface Fish(Which got to big and had to give to my Uncle who is also a Aquariumist with a 150g Agressive Style tank), Huma Huma Triggerfish(Picasso), and a Tang that at the moment cannot recall the name of.

Of Course I went off to College around 4 years ago and left my mother in charge because I went down to LSU, we lived in Ga, and felt that the trip would be much to stressful of a drive on them. Eventually my mother stopped taking care of them because the eel and lionfish would surprisingly get agressive while feeding time as well as Cleaning time and she got scared and stopped feeding them/cleaning the tank :-X.

But now I am back home and Restarting up my Aquarium with a reef style theme. I have been in love the the Crustacians at the moment, and regret to have boughten a Coral Banded Shrimp which has since eaten my Cleaner shrimp heh. The Aquarium like I said is around 7 years old Eclipse. I have a filter with a Biowheel and a temperature gage.No Idea on what m lights are atm one I switched for a Violete light and a Reguluar one.

2 Weeks into m Aquarium I now have:

2 Zebra Damsels(3 Striped Damsels?)
3 Yellow Tail Blue Damsels
1 Coral Banded Shrimp(Setting up a 20 gallon Tank to keep it away since it has been agressive to the other Fish/shrimps/crabs)
3 Emerald Crabs
6 Turbo Snails(I think the are Turbo the just clean the Algea off as far as I recall)
1 Peppermint Shrimp
1 Baby Yellow Watchmen Goby who I currently Adore
1 Fire Shrimp
1 Strawberry Crab
1 Decorator Arrow Crab

Corals:
Multi colored Polyps
Some other kind of coral(Tube like with Tourquoise middle and Purple outsides) that I got for a Refund on my Dead Cleaner shrimp the Coral Banded Shrimp ate.(Will get Picture later on I hope to be identified)

But Anways I just wanted to say Hello to everone! =-D

Sounds like a nice little setup. Before you get really into corals, I would make sure to know what type of lighting you have, and what type of lighting any corals that you want need. Good luck with it.
