Welcome Kiwi_man!!!

The best thing for you to do first is check out waterkeepers threads for all kinds of great info on starting a tank.

You might need a bigger tank for some of them. Before you buy find out how to care for them and how big they can get.

Hi Kiwi
[welcome]

Almost all SW fish will hand feed when they get acclimated. Triggers and Large Angles are not really good beginner fish and Angels can cuase problems in a full reef. I'd try something a little more modest until you get some experience.
