Planning so far ahead as you are means you will probably do well.

Try for the 70 (264 Litre) tank rather than the smaller. It's the same as for freshwater, the bigger the tank the more time you have to find and correct problems. I still haven't worked out how you know how many fish you can have with saltwater. I read once that it's about an inch per 5 gallons (a centimetre per 7.5 litres). You will probably find though that you don't really want all that many fish because there are plenty of other things to look at.

I bought my tank second hand for freshwater fish but a friend saw it and said one word - "Marine" and the seed was planted. It really is too big but I have plenty of room in this 97 year old house.
