    One thing you need LOADS of is patience - and you can't buy that, Don. Your LFS (fish shop) should be able to tell you want you need, but be careful what you get s/h as quality varies and saltwaters kills some things like pumps very quickly. Shop around for the best deals - but if you're going to get into this seriously, budget for some RO/DI premixed saltwater and live rock first. You need that in the tank before you add anything like livestock. In fact, its fun to buy LR you'll need about 220-300lbs of the stuff (!) and watch to see what sprouts from it. Anything nasty that might hurt your fish will be dead in a month or so - it's worth the wait.

    Skimmers are not necessary in the early days, heaters (you should have two in case one fails) and pumps are though.
