Welcome!

Do not rush into the purchases as you will save more by doing some research here first. Tons of information for you to sieve through. You will also realise the hobby is about building patience. Going to reputable shops will also save alot of headaches.

Some essential stuffs:

Skimmer

Return pump/pipings

Lighting (depend on livestock, depth)

Live rock / live sand

Marine Salt

Test kits

These would be my recommended start up kit. Have fun and remember post progressive pictures of your set up
