You can start here: http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=118995 and ask as many questions as you want. Welcome to the addiction by the way
When you say "so coral will flourish" have you decided what kind of coral you want to have - SPS, LPS, Softies, etc? The major effect is lighting (PC vs MH vs T5). If you are going to mix corals - leathers and others that would yield another group of suggestions.
WELCOME to Aquaria Central, this is a terrific group of people who help not judge! No question too small.

to be honest with u i'm not really sure what kinds of coral i would like to have i've just been looking for equipment so i'll be ready for the coral when i can afford it. What would you recomend and what is needed for the different types of coral???
I'd start with the book The Conscientious Marine Aquarist by Bob Fenner. Great beginners guide and useful even once you've had some experience. It will answer all sorts of questions and help you understand some of what you need to consider so you can even begin to answer questions about what you want. This is the best deal I found on it and the company has given me good service: http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~idProduct~BKCMAS.html
Hey, toronto see what I was getting at? We could have written you a thousand page reply and still missed what you needed.
