If you don't know much about marine set-ups, you'd probably be better off asking on a specialised site rather than a celebrity based website with a pets forum. Or your local aquarium suppliers.

Marine tanks are difficult to maintain, and you have to be prepared to do a lot of water changes to maintain the chemical balance of the water.
Also marine fish are rather pricey, so make sure you have got good info before you decide to convert your tank, because it costs a lot to re stock
