I have always had fish only sw tanks. I have a 90gal reef setup and I have corals and need educated on corals. Is there any good web sites, books ect that will help me out???
 
Bump for a good book list!

Of course we are here for you if you have any particular questions. :)
 
A good "quick and dirty" book is Corals: A Quick Reference Guide by Julian Sprung. Aquarium Corals: Selection, Husbandry, and Natural History by Eric Borneman is quite good as well.
 
marine chemistry by CR Brightwell < quite in-depth book on chemistry in a reef aquarium will definitely help out a lot to keep the system running well and balanced.
A practical guide to corals by Ed Puterbaugh < this is a quick reference to corals great to take to stores and look into before you buy corals.
The marine reef aquarium by Philip Hunt < the basic info on keeping and starting a reef tank
aquarium corals selection, Husbandry, and natural history by Eric H Borneman < this book goes in depth on all corals on husbandry selection and propagation.
The conscientious marine aquarist by Robert M Fenner < This book explains the ins and out's of reefing.
Marine reef aquarium handbook by Dr Robert J Goldstien < This book is great for quick trouble shooting
Algae a problem solver by Julian Sprung < this book will save you a lot of trouble.


I have sat down and went over all these book repeatedly and gain more knowledge every time read them. Hope this helps and happy reefing
 
If you're illiterate like me, as skins mentioned earlier, you can always check out the many nice tank threads here and ask them questions. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to help.
