There is a ton of info out there for Reef Tanks. Keep in mind that the most important part of reef tanks is in the setup and conditioning. There is no shortcut to this. Plan on spending weeks, if not months before you can even introduce any corals and invertebrates into the tank. You will spend a long time conditioning the tank before your levels even out and it's finally safe to introduce fish and other life. Unlike fresh water aquariums that can be up and running in days, marine setups require a lot of patience, money and upkeep. It's not very easy nor cheap (sort of like chameleon keeping...LOL).
Read as much as you can about it before starting it. A good place to start is by reading through the forums at reef central.

Good luck, it's very addictive.
