My tank is a 125g w/ a 55g diy sump the project is on going, of course reefkeeping never reaches a conclusion, you are always upgrading to bigger and what you hope is better! Now in the process of moving tank to living rm and reinforcing floor if calculations are correct it will weigh over half tonstill have to buy mh lighting, build canopy, several other ideas that I want to try. The boss (my wife) is trying to keep me in moderation on spending. Soooo i'm having to do a little at a time. The reason I have asked so early for info is I want to have time to study and read up on the corals and the fish. No mistakes is the motto!! I do appreciate the input and all advise!

Look for some of the books suggested, ask on the site, also look at compatability charts here is a decent one ive used a lot Marine Compatability Chart

Also a really good coral book is Aquarium Corals by Erick H Borneman its probably one of the most extensive coral books ive found.
