For anyone who is interested here are some good reefkeeping reference links I came accross. As a newbie to reefing I try to put togother as much information as I can which answer my questions and I wanted to post these helpful links. The small reef reference especially seems to have alot of good information and alot if not all of it can be applied to any reef system.
