You're welcome to post your questions here, there are some very helpful reefers on the board.
If you're looking for something local (I'm assuming by ok you mean Oklahoma?), there is COMAS, they cover quite a broad area.
Check out http://reefcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=30&forumid=109, I'm not sure how local they are to you, but they may be able to help you find reputable stores in your area.

I agree with the Reefcentral link. However, feel free to ask all the questions you want here. It would help to separate the questions with punctuation, however we'll do our best to decipher it 
Be patient, ask questions and you'll end up with a very nice looking tank.

Good advice so far. Also, I couldn't agree more on punctuation and grammar. I had a really hard time reading what you posted.

I'm not sure what you mean on different stores giving you different information/advice. Are they saying you are unable to keep them due to equipment limitations or are you saying that information from OK fish stores are convincing you not to like soft corals? Also, what corals to feed or what to feed your corals?
We can help you with specifics if there were a bit more clarity with your posts.

??? we have a small 26 bow and i love the soft frags but the fish stores here in ok all say something difrent so i buy marine fish and reef mag and i dont want to buy on line not to sure what i can and cant have or what to feed if i buy i need help lost in ok

We need more info. 26G bow tank doesnt tell us anything. Most softy can be kept under PC or T5 light. I don't buy live stock online because I like to see what I get and I don't like to take risk with shipping company. Most of the stuff you can get at the LFS. What are you trying to feed? Fish or coral? If you want to take advise from a LFS, make sure you go to the one that is reliable. The sad part is 50% of the stores are just trying to make $. Post more info of your tank and we can help you out.

Just some friendly advice when dealing with part of the nation you may not now anything about:
I try to stay away from giving %'s of something I may not know, like % of stores that give reliable info in OK The stores I have dealt with there seem to be on the up and up, and no, I do not remember names (1000+ in my database )

But do you have any experience with LFS's in OK? That's my point If you haven't, you have no real data to support any of your claims. No market in the US is the same, trust me

It really depends what you want the tank to look like. It would help us if you could post what wattage the light is (32W, 65W, etc). Also, a picture could help tons. 17 pieces of live rock can be a lot or a little. You'll probably want to get rid of the damsels, as they'll get pretty aggressive and pick at each other and other fish. The clarkii clown will also get pretty big, and might be a little aggressive but should be ok. It seems like you're on a good start. My next suggestions for purchases would be:
standard test kits (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH)
hydrometer
heater and thermometer
powerhead (didn't see one mentioned)
We'll probably be asking about your water quality/parameters and those are all needed. But really, it sounds like you're on a good start, and goodjob asking questions.
