Well Helen for starts depends on your budget and how much responsibility you want for maintenance. Bigger tanks of 55 gallon or more is recommended because evaporation and raise in salinity gravity. So how much work you wanna do is one question you ask yourself and how much I want to spend because this hobby does get expensive.

If you going all in make sure you do it right the first time far as choosing equipment and setup. After the setup its all about the maintenance from there on. Research before final decision. Dont do the newbie mistake like I did where I went in head first and not researching everything. So now I just see it as a learning experience and not thinking about how stupid I was and could of done better. That's that and on to subject. Craigslist best to start try to find someone getting out of the hobby and selling a full operational system or just see if you can find tanks for less then spending thousands on a big setup. Just some thought.
