Welcome to the hobby! I would say for a good start into this hobby would to understand water parameters and keeping the water at the levels needed to keep marine life alive.
Good luck to you

Thanks a lot for your quike response, I would like to know more about sump, UV, and the purpose filtersock

A sump would be a place you keep all your gear, protein skimmer, UV filter, filtersock, auto freshwater topper, calcium reactor, algae scrubbers and so on... out of sight of yoir display tank. Filter socks are used to catch organics before they break down into nitrates (if changed regular).

One thing to consider is one doesn't need all the gear that reefers use. I have a tank that has been running for 7 years only with a protein skimmer, a heater, a canisters filter using bacteria for the nitrogen cycle.

Thanks for your response.. I have a question. That is one of my friends has a reef tank recently he bought a butterfly fish and bought some anemone. But that fish is trying to eat that anemone.. Is there any solution to it because I live that anemone

Butterfly fish are not the most reef safe fish, they tend to eat invertebrates. Clams, anemones, worms, shrimps are never really safe when keeping in the same tank.
