Simplest answer would be research and lots of it. Having a good amount of knowledge will be invaluable when starting. Other than that I would start by seeing what size tank you want and the equipment needed for that size tank. Also look into the fish/corals you want as well, this way you know something about them and this can also effect the size tank you may want. For example if you're fine with smaller fish like clowns and a few wrasses a 40 breeder may be enough, but if you want large Angels or tangs you're going to need to look into a bigger tank. Hope this helps. Best of luck!

Thanks for the replies I have a 190L corner bow front tank thats my start.
I prefer lots of smaller fish than larger ones I love corals and inverts my research starts now which will be hard as nothing really sinks in here goes nothing I may become a bit of a pest on here as time goes by

Welcome!! I love the look of schools or groups of small fish or inverts. Some really cool pairs out there like shrimp and gobies.
