Welcome to AQ!

I doubt it will be cheap to engage someone to maintain a 6ft tank.

Hi, I can suggest a few things that a beginner to marine can do.
1. Check tht your salinity is correct - buy one of those plastic hydrometer things to check.
2. get some live rocks and please let the tank & rocks cycle - about a month
3. start with some fishes - simple damsels or clownfishes
4. get a skimmer to maintain your tank.
5. get some lights.
6. be simple - FOWLR (Fish Only With Live Rock)
good luck

By the way, a picture of your 6 feet tank will be great to advise you further.
