Advice:
Go to a fish store where the staff know what they're talking about - and listen. Fish temperments, health, water conditions, etc.. Do what's right for our finned friends.
Also- if you're planning on using driftwood, be aware that you will have orange water.... even after soaking / treating it.

Don't think you have to start small. This is my first tank (55 gallon). Get the fish that interest you the most. You want to enjoy taking care of them. BEST ADVICE: DON'T RUSH INTO IT. Just do your research, get the right equipment and you'll be on your way to a whole new world of, well...fish.

About Yourself:
I started when I was 12 after envying a tank at my library. I did the research and started with a ten gallon which ran successfully for a year until we moved. So far, it's been my healthiest tank, though I've gained so much more practical knowledge.
Fish Kept:
Over the years and in different tanks:
Tropical Freshwater: Platties, Swordtails, Neon Tetras, Corydoras, Clown Loach, Rosy Barbs, Chinese algea eater
Coldwater Freshwater: Goldfish (Commons, Orandas, Ryunkins, Lionheads, Comets, Fantails, Telescope Eyes, Pearlscales), Dojo loaches, Bristlenose pleco, White Cloud Mountain Minnows
Corals/Plants:
Java Ferns and Moss (easy!)
Amazon Sword
Ludwig
Wisteria
...and others I can't remember
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
RESEARCH! Make the Nitrogen Cycle an important part of this research, and don't skimp on the time it requires.
With goldfish, 10 gallons per fish is a good rule for those new to the hobby.

Corals/Plants:
all plastic plants, and many excellent rocks from my local fish outet
Tank Size:
72 gallons
Advice:
Start small, and work your way up. I originally had a 10 gallon tank in high school after a great ecobottle project, and recently upgraded to a bigger tank. I love the responsability even though i have not taken on tougher species yet. My partial mistakes with the small tank make me feel more accountable, as I monitor the tank at every possible moment
