New tank

[Carterplr]

I'm starting a new 75g reef tank with refuge. Do I start the refuge right away? Also I need a good reference book.

Welcome to R2R! I suggest that you wait to add macroalgae until you have some fish in the tank.

Welcome! Not sure about a book, but lots of good reading here and videos on YouTube. I wouldn't start a refugium until it's a little more established.

Welcome to Reef 2 Reef. I would make sure the tank is established before setting up the fuge.

Hello and welcome. I would think that it depends on what you want to put in your refugium.

If you really like books, I like this one. It is a little dated, but still good. The Conscientious Marine Aquarist (Microcosm/T.F.H. Professional) https://a.co/d/g604pCH

Welcome! Check out Bulk Reef Supply's videos on Youtube on just about all things reefing. The one book I have is "Reef Aquariums" by John Tullock.

Welcome Aboard
As far as books go Dynamic Aquaria is a good read. Typically you would want to wait until you have some sort of bioload to sustain the life in the refugium so I personally would wait until you have some inhabitants. Also here's a link to a great video on refugiums.
