BadNick:
Good luck with the saltwater setup, 55 gal should be enough water to get a pretty stable reef going, and will be a lot easier to keep than a 30 gal or smaller. If you've got the equipment to put a little sump on it, that would be even better, but that opens up flooding issues (that can mostly be mitigated with good design).
Your experiences with research and buying high quality stuff will pay off even more with saltwater. There is a lot of stuff you can buy to help, and it takes a lot of research to figure out how much is worth it - i.e. a lot of stuff makes a lot more sense for a 200G+ setup than a 55 gallon setup.
