Nope not sarcastic one bit.Was that a sarcastic or honest comment? Read your build thread and see you had some nasty issues in the past and I guess I can understand why the comment. I will take it under consideration.
If you like a challenge and don't mind throwing money away, then by all means get into SPS.
If you want the hobby to remain fun, and not be heartbroken or frustrated when "everything is right on point", but that $300 nub you just bought STNed overnight, then stick to LPS and softies.
Thats just how it is with SPS regardless of your experience. One day tank looks great, next morning everything dead or dying.
