Damn I love this post already. Thanks for all the response. I did do a very quick setup. I figured that it would be ok since I used the same water from the tank they were in. Two days after setting it up I did a test with the hydrometer and the reading was 1.014! I realized that this was terrible environment for the fish so I almost dumped 7lbs of salt into the tank to make it the right level.
Its been about three weeks since I got this tank. I did my ammonia. nitrate, nitrite and ph test and all levels are fine.
The tank actually came with;

Eheim wet/dry filter
Eclipse 18" natural daylight lamp
Blue actinic 18" light
About an inch of white crushed rock and shells on the bottom.

Also bought the best protein skimmer I couldn find.
I got about 25lb of Live Rock.

I did go too fast and I know I should have done my research but once I had it in my place it was 2 late. I worked with it and I think I made it work. I do want to add more live rock and figure out what I want to do about this angel fish. I wish the dealer would have educated me more rather than giving me two fish that wouldnt get along. I guess this is what you get when you put your trust into people and not do your own homework.
Dont worry about the triggerfish, he is the smallest one and its the niger trigger which supposed to be the most tame.
