Starting off a salt water aquarium help!!

Good luck! I hope it turns out fantastic!!

I've always wanted a system with a sump/refugium but having that much water around is a bit unsettling to me lol.

If you don't have a tank yet, start with a 90. A 90 is an awesome size and if you enjoy reefing you'll outgrow a 60 pretty fast...

I have found the below forum thread extremely helpful in explaining what's going on in a saltwater/reef system. It's broken down in ways that very easy to follow, however it's quite long and touches on many different aspects of your system. I personally recommend starting from the beginning, with the basics of how the nitrogen cycle works in a saltwater/reef system.
