Hello ! I think You are starting with the best size tank . Your plan to start with a fish only is good. It will give you time & experience & patient & don't let the info overload get to Ya.
This is a great place to start I know from personal experience.

I'd also look for a local fish store (lfs) to start a relationship with. If you have several options visit them all and see what they have. The other thing I'd look for is a local group in your area, in the DFW area we have a great group that's been a tremendous help.

!!! Welcome to R2R !!! Great size tank to start. Read and learn but also watch those 52 weeks of reefing videos from BRStv on youtube. Also, if you have any question, don't hesitate to ask here, you will have an answer form many experience reefers.
