Web site recommendation for starting a reef tank?

Hi,

I've been keeping chidlid for the past couple years, kind
a bored with them and would like to try moving to a reef tank.
My goal is for a 55gal to 85gal size tank. Can some kind person
please point me to a couple good web sites I can read up to
understand what is needed to get one going? I'd also like
to find out what kind of fish and/or invertebrate are good
for beginners.

Thanks much

For the size tank you've mentioned, go with a 75. It's a good height
for lighting and the 18" front to back space is easier to stack rock
with.

48" x 18" x 21" high.
