The best beginners book out there.....buy it "The New Marine Aquarium" by Michael Paletta. the best money spent and an easy to understand step by step guide to equipment and an easy to follow checklist
I just purchased that book last week, and WOW has it saved me having to ask a bunch of questions on here, It is definitely written with the novice in mind, but I bet some of the SW veterans on here have referenced it once or twice before
It really is worth purchasing, I'm totally new to SW fishkeeping myself, and so far, between that book and this forum, I've been able to get my first Nano Reef started, with minimal issues.
I'm not sure you actually need to find a "guide for beginners" Just read all the stickies (It's good stuff if you haven't read them already) Then just group all your questions, and start a thread here (If you haven't already) There are some VERY knowledgeable people on this forum, and generally you'll get pretty quick answers to all your ?'s (Maybe a lil' criticism from time to time too
)
