It depends if you want corals or not...It's really not that hard...just more maintainance than a freshwater tank. You will need "Live" rock and sand for the tank...it can be purchased at Gerwin's store on Pass Road near the Veterans Hospital/ Keesler...in Biloxi. If you want corals you will need special lighting and of course you will need salt and a hydrometer to get your salinity started. Gerwin and Roger are full of answers at the store and would be more than happy to direct you on the right path! They have always gone above and beyond to answer my questions... and Archie too ...They are the best at helping me when I want to play 20 questions
