Nice call on setting up a salt aquarium. Its like having art in your room that's alive and changes. Thirty five gallons is a nice size where you could keep tangs without them darting around. Most people like different colors of fish and its hard to beat a yellow tang.
What kind of filtration are you thinking of using? Planning on using a skimmer with it? Lighting is another consideration, too. I have an LED tank and enjoy good results growing soft corals with it and the water doesn't get too hot using them.
My only input would be to use high quality synthetic sea salt like Tropic Marin which is my fave. It has high calcium so you don't have to buffer that element up if you do regular water changes. Buying RO water from your local fish store and mixing your salt in seems to be the best way to go. A lot people just buy salt water pre mixed from them, but they sometimes use low quality salt like Instant Ocean. Another tip would be not to go too crazy with the depth of the sand bed.
Reef Central is another great online resource. Please post some pictures of the new tank if you can.
