Get a used 50 gal long (48 inches ) run a 4 or 6 bulb t5 unit , you can do without a sump and skimmer if you keep the fish list short or have small fish . Wrasses are great , gobys and blennies have tons of personality .This is what im running right now , was my first tank and have had it for 5 years now . With the t5s you can have all kinds of corals zoas , softies and lps . Just troll the equipment section and get everything used and you should be able to have a good tank for about a grand or less.

Mike, you could even go a little smaller, like 20-30g. Then if you decide you like the hobby and want to upgrade, you can use that tank for a hospital or quarantine tank or a separate refugium. You'd save a little money, but not a whole lot because you still need almost all of the same equipment, just smaller versions. Lights would be cheaper. And post lots of pics so the rest of us can watch and learn.
