Welcome to the hobby/addiction.
Other than needing a second job, line of credit, therapist, marriage counselor, tons of patience (and medication, and/or alcohol ...then associated rehab), tank sitter, second fridge (to store the fish food), late night water transfers to ward off a tank crash(es), skin grafts after spilling superglue on yourself (sorry Denny!), falling rock structures, failing heaters, lights, fans, controllers, backups of backups, plumbing leaks, coral pests and the months of searching how to get rid of them..... Its actually a fantastic hobby, and after a year and a bit, this has become MY primary learning resource to avoid/solve much of the above!!

Welcome, Chiz.
 With Denny as a mentor . . . you should do just fine. Though, there is apparently a "super glue" incident that requires investigation. Perhaps you should consult someone else regard its usage.

Welcome to Canreef! All frenzied noob style posts are welcomed and enjoyed, its the only free entertainment we get
 Also, lets face it, we've all had a "superglue incident"  Heck I seem to have one on a weekly basis (usually involving me forgetting that I didn't buy the gel kind of superglue so I end up with a sort of superglue glove on my hand *sigh*).

Hey Denny. Peeling superglue off skin is almost an art in this hobby. I've lost a few layers of skin many times already. Once had a foil tube burst in my hand. That was extra-special fun!
Ian, you found a good place! :-)

My condolences in getting involved this hobby. Prepare yourself for the inevitable mental and verbal battles with yourself, your spouse, your fish, corals, cleaning crew.... yes one day you will find yourself yelling at your tank... Not to mention the light headed experiences of looking at visa statements, dealing with DOA shipments and wondering why that fish you just bought lasted less than 24 hrs. Don't get me wrong there will be the time when your tank will look awesome!! just the way you pictured it....thats about a two day window....Reality sucks... pass the valium, have a good day.
