Is it safe to buy them online? Or would it be best to buy your fish in store??

Okay great. I shouldn't have to travel much further then that for some fish. Also I am
Interested in anemones.. How many of those would be able to have in a tank that size? Those should go in before any fish tho right? And the same with corals??

Oh okay. Good to know. Only have the light that came with it right now and it sits along the whole top with two long bulbs. It's set up as a FW right now. Soon to be emptied. I have an Oscar, he is getting too big tho. He is about 7" and two massive plecos who need to go aw well. Will I need a differnt light? Or just different bulbs??

So I should just start with live rock, live sand and fish? And then add the rest after a while

You will probably need to buy a different fixture. A dual t5ho fixture can support soft corals but in no way will it be able to support an anemone or sps such as acropora. The bulbs will be labeled with their type so you can figure out what you're working with.
yep
Start with LS and LR. You will still need to cycle the tank as with FW. Your first fish can go in after the cycle completes. Don't add large groups of fish together. It's equally important as with FW, that QT is your best friend. Many fail for simply trying to skip this most important step. I've found it best to add the least aggressive fish first. If not, it will make for a hectic tank. Give fish time to settle in before adding to the community from your QT tank. QT is very important !!! Research the fish you want IN LENGTH. For both tank needs and compatibility. I feel like there may be something important that I'm forgetting but it will come to me.

So I would never be able to have an anemone??? ????
