If you understand the Nitrogen Cycle, which is also present in a freshwater setup, then a saltwater tank isn't to much different really. If you keep only fish, then it's a little easier. Having a true reef tank with corals takes a bit more dedication though. Have to have the correct lighting conditions and water quality is paramount. If you like keeping a fish tank and don't neglect water changes and the day to day stuff, then a saltwater tank isn't that hard. Best thing you can do is read, read, and read some more. Knowing what to expect is a big part of preventing issues when you are starting a saltwater tank.

Here is a link to an awesome forum/information resource:
Reef Aquarium Guide

That is the best place I have found to get started.
