The upgrade is live rock. Since live rock is pricey at about $5-9 per lb, you could get about 20% live and the rest base rock at about $2 per pound.
With just a few small fish, you could run it just like a freshwater system with the HOB biowheels. Live rock is not absolutely necessary. You may just have to do more water changes to keep nitrates in check.
sorry im new
