research, research, research.
FOWLR or Reef?
You will need a sump for it too, probably a 40G or so. A filter, protein skimmer, live rock, live sand, for a tank that size, probably 2 filters, a fuge.
SW is a lot more expensive than freshwater. It can easily cost you at least a thousand.

well if its a fish only aggressive tank... you can bet on around $30-50 per month on maintenance including: energy costs, making saltwater for water changes, feeding the fish, etc.
if its a reef tank... $50-100 per month on maintenance including: energy costs, making saltwater for water changes, feeding fish, maintaining equipment, etc
