Newbie to Reef....where to start?

Before you go out buying corals you should probably think about what you want the tank to look like in the future. If you like sps corals for instance its probably not a good idea to fill your tank with leather corals now just because they are one of the easiest corals to keep.So look at lots of pictures and decide if you like feathery soft corals waving in the current or stiff fuzzy sticks standing at attention.
