Although I always consider myself in a state of learning. The following books were very helpful when I first started and I recommend them to anyone entering this hobby.
Maybe others can suggest a few other books that might be helpful to beginners.
1. The concientious marine aquarist by Robert Fenner
2. The new marine aquarium by Michael Paletta
3. Water Chemistry for the Marine Aquarium by John Tullock
Have read several others but I got a lot from these three.

google for articles by Randy Holmes-Farley on water chemistry, and Eric Borneman articles for corals. Tons of free info on the net.

Borneman's book on corals is great, too.
The Saltwater for Dummies is pretty weak.

All three books: The Reef Aquarium by Sprung and Delbeek. The are expensive, but well worth it IMO.
