Advice:
Research before buying any species of fish.
Set up the tank 1st then add fish after cycling.

I had fishes off and on for many years both salt water and fresh. I started again for my daughters. They love going to the fish store and feeding fish.

Tank Size:

Advice:
Borrow books from the library and read as much as you can. Pick your feature fish(could be your most expensive fish) and then pick other fishes that are compatiable with it. Don't start by buying the most expensive fish but rather fishes that are compatiable. You don't need to buy 2's of everything. Sometimes they don't get along with their own kind. Buy used equipments is a good way to save money and speed up setup them.

Advice:
Introduce new fish, sparingly, do not over feed, the trick is to get the natural, biological filter going.
Clean your filter in its own water, try not disturb the surface of the floor alot when cleaning
