This page will host information about my process of setting up a 75-gallon reef aquarium.  I will post information on each piece purchased for the aquarium and its cost here.  I will also post a list of the books that I have found useful in reading prior to starting this process.  All the books I have listed can be purchased through my on-line bookstore with Amazon.com.  And yes, a wise aquarist will read first and then start setting up the aquarium.
