I just moved to SF and I am going to set up my tank again as soon as
it gets here. I have a 72 gal bow front tank, coralife compact 55w X 4
tubes 6,700K (I think), 2 ebo heaters, 404 fluval, surface skimmer etc
etc...

I would like some of your opinions on the following:-

1. I was thinking of setting up a salt water tank but have no
experience...what do you guys think? Is it going to be more effort in
maintenance and setting up?

Um, this is a freshwater plants news group. Perhaps you wanted
rec.aquaria.marine.misc?

If you are also interested in setting up a plant tank in San Francisco,
then by all means contact the San Francisco Bay Area Plant Society:

2. Where is a good place to go in SF. I live right in the Financial
District.

For Marine, you are asking the wrong folks. For planted tanks, go to this
place, you'll think you died and went to heaven:
