I sent you an e-mail about a 75 gallon wet/dry sump filtration system with a protein skimmer. I live in Orlando.
What type of tank do you want to set up? Fish only, aggressive fish, tank with live rock, or a complete reef tank?
My recommendation is for you to get your tank, stand, lighting (depends on what type of set up you want), and filtration. Get at least one pould of rock and live sand per gallon of tank capacity. Fill the tank with RO/DI saltwater and add a few starter fish. Unforunately, there is no truly effective way to get a tank to become fully established, except time. Don't buy a lot of expensive stuff (especially corals and clams) until the tank is established.
If you want to do a complete reef setup, you should get lighting capable of producing 5 to 10 watts per gallon of water. This usually involves metal halid lighting (expensice) which produces a lot of heat, meanining you may have to buy a chiller (also expensive).
