Well in my case I try to spend an hour a day in this particular forum. I certainly don't know everything nor does anyone. I do this because I was new once upon a time and feel that helping new hobbyists is good for the hobby and good for their pocket book. Additionally, I hate seeing animals mistreated because someone simply thinks they can keep them in inappropriate environments.
But, once an answer is given and suggestions made, it feels like a waste of time "arguing" with a poster as to why their position is not the best one. Read the answers given CAREFULLY. Look at the type of tanks the responders are keeping, perhaps look at their experience, and then either value the information you are getting or discard it.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you are being serious. Now that we got that out of the way . . . READ the answers you're given. It's not that you're new--it's that you're not reading. This is not a forum for me telling you how to do everything. You have to be willing to learn. Asking repeat questions that clwarly show you didn't read the previous post is frustrating. Buy some books, get at least a basic understanding. It's impossible for us to tell you in this forum everything there is to know. You have to come with some knowledge--some willingness to digest what's been stated, do some follow up learning on your own. The questions you are asking have either been stated or are so basic it shows that you are looking to this forum as a "how to". We can't run your tank for you. You need to take some initiative and ask sensible questions.

Can't think of what to say.
The guy tried to make nice and everyone keeps attacking.
So, he's new.
There are a lot of people here with more posts that get a pass for stuff that gets a noob fried.
I see another post tonite, unrelated, that in his specs, lists a powder blue and brown tang, a sailfin tang and a pacific blue tang along with at least 3 other fish in a 90G tank.
Apparently, he is successful.
He has not been called to task by you guys.
How is a newbie supposed to sort all this out?
Granted, he needs to slow down, but how does he sort the cr@p from good advice.
Just telling him to "shutup and listen to me" is not helping.
My point is that there is a LOT of conflicting information here.
Give folks a chance to figure it out.
BTW, I don't post a lot and I'm on vacation in SW FL in a beach house starting in 6 hrs, so, responses will have to wait if I get flamed for this and, as fast as this forum moves, it will be buried anyway.

"New" had nothing to do with it, and post count means squat.
Read the other posts/threads before you lash out at a comment you didn't like.
I along with many others have tried to help this person on various threads regarding the same topics.
If I have to play the "bad guy" and call someone out for fishing for the answer they want to hear... then I will.
If you notice in the past threads they didn't take any advice, then as soon as I call attention to them in this thread... amazingly they are all ears now. Also, I wasn't the only one that took issue with the responses. I just pushed the hardest.
Regardless, it looks like they are willing to listen and do some research on their own now. I consider it over, and do not wish to bog down the thread anymore with this. Feel free to PM me when you get back if you would like to carry on the argument though.
