New with salt water and need help

This is a great forum with tons of ideas. Like Oxy said, you want to get it right the first time. A good lesson is to not cheap out at first thinking you will upgrade later. You won't be happy and will end up spending twice as much money in the long run.
Thats not to say you have to buy the best.There are some great bargains to be had online and through this forum but do your homework. This hobby takes time.
