It all depends on what you are wanting to keep. If you are just going to keep fish, the only thing you really need in addition to the FW setup is a skimmer. If you are going to go with corals, then you will need sufficient lighting along with great water quality. To me, saltwater is no more difficult than freshwater. There are just a few more things that need to be monitored like salt, calcium, and alkalinity. My SW consists of 1000 W lights, 55 gallon sump, powerheads, chiller, 170 lbs live rock, and skimmer. To really answer your question, we need to know what you plan on keeping in the tank.
