Okay, I'm currently big into planted tanks. But have now become interested in the possibilities of a salt water tank. I've done quite a bit of research, and as I start a brand new hobby from scratch. I'm hoping I can avoid any bad purchases regarding things I don't need or things that I will ultimately replace with better or more in expensive stuff..
I'm about to purchase the following tank:

Other than lighting, what other items will I need to purchase from the beginning, before I consider putting water in the tank? What sort of filter is considered to be a good standard in quality? I've read how I may need a skimmer, how much will that cost? Do I need to buy a chiller? At 48 gallons, how much live rock should I be purchasing to start?
My goal is live rock, possibly some coral, and community fish. :fish1:
