Good for you for wanting to learn before you dive into it. Why not take a couple of hours and browse these threads?
http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...readid=1031074 Lots of great information in there.

And obviously, ask as many questions as necessary.

I agree....but for bare bones info...a high quality skimmer and good amount of live rock and reasonable lights...after that everything will fall into place...But, do read up...Also, take a look here for good practical info:

Reefing is sort of like having kids...if you *really* knew what you were getting into you would probably decide against it
