Have had aquariums on and off for several years.
The key to this hobby is low maintainance, meaning, get the best filter/pump you can and this will reduce the housekeeping chores to a minimum. Given your size, its not overly big so should be easy to setup.
Summary:
1. good filter/pump
2. change 1/3 of the water every 3 weeks.
3. feed in small quantities only.
4. not all tropicals are compatible with each other.
5. expect to replace some fish from time to time - they just seem to die, even when they look healthy.
6. Ph - some people methodically check regularly, personally I don't bother too much about it.
7. get some nice plants, eg, amazon swords, java fern - the fish won't touch these and they'll proprogate quite nicely too.
Enjoy - Norm
