Yup, what they said. A smaller tank is generally harder to keep per say because of the smaller water volume. When you have a larger water volume, its easier to keep things stable, as smaller things effect the water less, as anything is diluted more than a smaller tank.
However, the smaller the volume, the less you have to spend on salt, additives, sand, and RO water

I think somewhere around 55 gallons is an ideal starting size (purely opinion).
When dealing with a smaller tank, the smallest evaporation can cause a bigger swing in tank parameters.
IMO a small tank is just a temporary fix until you want a bigger tank. So if you can start with something bigger like a 40B or a 55g tank.
I would start a little bigger. Do go straight for a 100+ system. I started with a 10 it last 3 months before I upgraded. Well all the equipment I got was no longer useful. Wasted alot of money. Plus it is hard to find used equipment for a smaller tank. People are always selling stuff that would work for 40+ gallons anything smaller you have to buy new.
40 gal Breeder with a sump is a great size to start with I think. Gives you a nice display tank, yet enough water to keep things stable.
