Yes, they should in terms of lighting.

LBM...
Yes, they should in terms of lighting.
IMO, you should read much more into Mr. Boreman's response, I could be wrong though. :D If so I'm sorry.

If you have not already seen this thread on tank maturity you should check it out.

Very informative even for those having kept tanks for years and years.

As far as your selection of corals I think most would be considered some of the easier ones to keep. Is the tank ready for all of them now? Will they all live? That's impossible to answer.

If it were me, I wouldn't "dump" that many into a system as immature as 2 months, and certainly not all at once. Wild caught colonies of corals can act somewhat the same as live rock, with die off of some of the coincidental organisms such as sponges.

Take to slow. I know it's tough and it can make it difficult especially if you are dependent on mail-order. Buying 1 or 2 at a time the freight can make the cost pretty high. Better than losing a lot of them due to a nutrient spike though.
