Answer:

first you need to have $$$ because the fish are more expensive- and if your going to do it right you need a hospital tank (10 gallon works fine) this way you can put newcomers in that tank for 2 weeks before putting them in your big tank. if they are sick it is easier to treat a smaller tank and you don't give the illness to all the other fish(some corals can not tolerate the medication and will die if treated). get a good book and learn which fish are compatible- do not count on the store clerk to know everything-buy your own test kits and learn about salt ratio etc before you begin- once you get it going you should be OK- start small - only a couple of fish at a time and build up slowly- filters are so different, you need to research these, again don't count on a clerk to know everything- but if your blessed with a knowledgeable person use them to the fullest.however; most are highschoolers working part time.
electronics. Dealership work only. Not even going to try and guess.
In addition to the above websites, I would suggest you invest in a good marine aquarium book. Not one that just lists lots of fish and tells something about them, but one that spends most of it's pages on settingit up, care and keeping of a marine aquarium. The other kind of book is good too. once you get that far along. MM
Sorry I don't know about this
