Now that that's out of the way the best advise you can give to new reefer is take it slow... Because nobody does without being told to... Going too fast is a quick way to get in this hobby and right back out of it...

Watch out for BigAl07....do I need to say why! 
(I've got a theme going)
first, patience...we all know why
second, research for yourself...sometimes something doesn't make sense, you may find that the advice is, let's say... not the best, on the other hand, you may find that it was excellent advice and after researching it you know why it is.

Same advice I was given pretty quickly, research different equipment and figure out what will work with what you want and buy that. You don't want to be having to buy a new lighting unit down the road, cause you wanted to save money when you started and bought cheap PC's instead of a nice T-5 or metal halide unit.
^Of course, maybe spending almost $1,000 on my first light unit was part of the reason why I could never pull the plug and get out of the hobby. Too invested right off the bat! lol.

Me: Quarantine! Even if a fish turns out to be completely healthy in quarantine, you know you won't harm all of your fish. If it is sick, then you you know you won't harm all of your fish.
New Tankhead: But the quarantine is stressful, and this fish is already delicate!
Me: That's great that it's delicate, but if it turns out to be sick, you'll have to catch it and quarantine it with every other fish in your tank. That's more stressful!
So yeah, quarantine.
Someone give Matt some Karma for me, I can't.

No tank starts perfect and stays perfect,
Roll with it, and learn to fix whats wrong.
