so @bnord and @Mschmidt I will need 2 tanks ? one for display and one as a qt tank ?and you power set up will depend on how large you are goin to go - 200 is a big tank to start with and having your own RODI set up and smart clean QT are great thing to start with
For sure get yourself an rodi unit and quarantine setup. When I was getting in to saltwater I saw the rough budget of $25 per gallon. From my albeit limited experience, with a plan you can stick to that. I have not much of a plan.
It might be fun and good, if possible to start with something small now, 20 gallons or so that will become your qt tank. It might be an easy way to get your hands wet. Call it the pregame tank.
As usual with my advice though, I know enough to be dangerous.
Also, since it is new construction, why not put a floor drain near or under the tank. That will make water changes much easier.
