I'd buy a book or search online for general info on saltwater setups... if you ask for everything we know, it'll be a mess of information and arguemetns about the subject :argue:. What kind of fish do you want? Do you want to keep FOWLR (Fish Only With Live Rock) or a reef tank? Are you going to buy new filters/more filters... or use the ones you have? It'll be easier to anwser not such a broad question.

WELCOME TO AC MONO!! :clap:

W.M has the best advice - buy some books and read up as much as possible. An excellent book that I often refer to is "Natural Reef Aquariums" by John Tullock. Another really good book for beginners that I found is "The New Marine Aquarium" by Michael Paletta. Your LFS probably has both of these, if not they can be ordered on Amazon.com.

Reading the posts on this web site is also an excellent way to learn about marine aquariums.
