I'd like to start a temperate marine tank, and have no idea where to start. What are some dos and donts starting one. How does it differ from a tropical tank?

I'd like to do this because I live near the coast in northern California and do lots of freediving/spearfishing/abalone diving, and I see lots of things out there i'd like to scoop up for a tank.
 
Will def be a specialized tank and will require Aomori strong independent research. There are some in the forums that are running similar specialized tanks. I think I have an article on one I found just forgot to post it. Give me a little am ill look.

Ok sounds like its probably beyond my experience
 
I would need a chiller go sure. I read something about needin to create algae blooms to feed inhabitants. This sounds like something that I might not be ready for. I only have experience with a 25# sw tank with heart predators. As much as I want a Goldwater it sounds like I would probably fail. About how much $ Would I be looking at for a 55# cold water with no fish
