Welcome and be sure to check out the local reef club, DFWMAS. They have a website and are on Facebook.

Also, RAP is in Frisco this weekend. It would be a good time to see a lot of coral and equipment vendors.
 
Welcome to R2R! Sounds like you have great start towards a Reef Tank, just take it slowly, don’t fall into the Gear rabbit hole, you will need Lights however, and some kinda in tank flow, starting out Fish Only is great, it gives you the chance to learn everything, you’ll understand your system norms. Then when you make the leap to Corals, you can start with hardy corals , that are more forgiving, until you can figure out the Light and Flow that’s best for whatever corals you choose to have.
