I'll try to help you. First of all Reefneck has good intentions he just comes off a little strong. As for your tank though he might be correct. You might beable to do it but it is much easier with a larger tank. Really well designed tanks for saltwater have built in overflows also. With these tanks you can actually increase your water volume with a sump tank underneath for more filtration and you can also hid heaters and other neccessities out of veiw of your main tank.
I think you have started out right by doing research on SW first. One main thing with SW tanks is being patient. It tanks time especially if you are going to do a reef tank with liverock and corals. Lighting is also a much bigger factor in SW than in fresh water I believe. What makes Hex tanks harder is that they are normally taller that a comparable rectangle tank. The height makes lighting them correctly more difficult.
You should be ok. Do your research, take your time and form the right habbits in maintenance and everything should fall into place.
