The best salt water aquarium I ever had was a 56 gal tub similar to a 65 gallon so you dont need a big tanks to do it (ive made a 5 1/2 gallon reef tank before). As far as money goes salt water fish are expensive but in my experience they live longer if taken care of, than freshwater. Coral is where salt water tanks get expensive. But if you were just going to do Huma Humas or other triggers Then It wouldnt be that much and salt water tanks usually only need a 10-20% water change every 2 weeks to be kept up. But if I were you I would stay away from aggressive marine fish. They really limit what you can do with your tank in the long run. A cool non rather non aggressive fish you could try. Is a Harlaquin Tusk Fish they look mean and colored nicely but are pretty good with other tank mates. and NEVER get eels they like to kill themselves they can get out of any tank.
Just a few tips. If you or anyone are thinking of setting up a salt tank you can PM me and ill help you out.
Heres a pic of a tusk fish you cant really see the teeth on this one but they are big and menacing
