I agree, first read a book on saltwater fish. It will really help you get started and make you avoid mistakes.

Welcome! Another good source of info is on this forum under New Hobbyists, at the very top it is labeled 101 tips for setting up and maintaining....
You will also need to decide what type of aquarium you want. Fish only, species specific, or corals. Just do lots of reading to help you decide the direction you want to take your tank and how much money it might cost for the equipment you need.
