Just starting out in south Florida

Oh yes. I am overwhelmed with how many threads there are. It's so hard to determine what I don't know / need to know. lol
Wish I had a buddy local down here to give me a hand to get everything up and running.
I don't want to waste time / funds. You think I should look into used equipment ( pumps / skimmer, lights)?

Sometimes you get lemons when buy used but most of the time you get some really good stuff.

I spoke with local fish store who said that he may know of some used equipment that local venders may have. I will follow up. What type of lights should I be looking for? How many? Measure in wattage?
