A salt water fish aquarium can add beauty and life to an office or any room in the house. Exotic salt water fish are beautiful and decorative, drawing people's attentions away from anything that is stressful in their lives. Salt water fish are also great pets for busy people, because they require a limited amount of care and feeding. This doesn't mean purchasing and taking care of these fish is a no-brainer, though.
Before investing in a salt water fish aquarium, one must decide what size tank they want and the location in the room where it will sit. It's best to position the tank somewhere that it will easy to move to and from, and where it will be prominent enough for everyone in the room to see. Salt water fish also require a pump and filter to strain and recycle their water and a temperature gauge to make sure the fish are within a healthy range of hot and cold. The purchase of exotic salt water fish will also require a heater, fish nets, salt water test kits, special food and cleaning tools. It's also nice to have some rocks, coral and other decorations in the tank to make it look and feel like the fish's natural habitat.
Different types of saltwater fish will grow differently, as well, so new owners should be prepared for the specifications of their chosen breed. Experts can assist new buyers who intend to purchase exotic salt water fish, as some fish can grow to over 12 inches in length while others may only grow an inch. A small salt water fish aquarium will also require just as much maintenance than a large one, and it may be weeks before it's ready for the fish. Once they're in, though, they will add a certain exquisiteness to any room that just can't be matched.

This is good basic information, I highly recommend reading more at sites such as this: Saltwater Information; Resources, Care, and Basics
Or here for Marine Fish and invertebrate information: Beginner to Advanced Marine Fish and Invertebrates
Chemistry from pH, to nitrates, to trace elements, to the often misunderstood Redox Potential are also important to know.
In topics such as lighting the 4 watts per gallon suggestion can vary widely based on lumens per watt, Kelvin output and much more.
Filtration can also vary depending on bio load, fish to be kept and much more here as well.
Live Rock is an important part of Bio Filtration as well.
Bottom line is do your research and the above recommended web sites are a good place to start.
Hey just found a great video on looking after Marine Fish, Sure you will find it useful as I did :-)
