check out my build thread on my 8' 165 gal tank and see what I did. See if you are looking for the same kind of reef it might help.

well, i not really too picky at the moment, so i think i should start with the easy stuff, i dont really know what corals are easy so feel free to suggest, but for live stock, i want diversity, shrimp, crab, maybe lobster? and course, a pair of clown fish, powder blue tangs and some damsel fish.......?

Watch out for Damsels they can be very aggressive if you want a community tank, the best fish for that would be clowns, regal tang, yellow tang, chromis's, blennies and gogy's. There are other's that are good to but can't think at the moment.

Depending on the crab, but if they get hungry enough, they are known to eat anything. A lobster will eat fish, so if you are looking at getting one, it would be better to get a tank specifically for them. Damsel's can turn into wholly terrors in a hurry, so unless you are getting very aggressive fish to go in with it, you might want to pass on them. Powder blue tangs like to swim, a lot, as most tangs do. A 75 gallon is going to be pretty hard on them. The tangs in the family of the Zebrasoma(yellow tang is an example) or Ctenochaetus would be a much better choice for a 75 gallon system.
As for corals, some easy corals that won't require a lot of light are mushrooms, leathers, paly's, xenia, green star polyps, toadstools, or kenya trees to name a few.

fora community tank jawfish are nice and a pistol shrimp/goby pair can be a lot of fun to watch as well.

how many fish am i going to be able to keep in my 72 gallon if i had round 70 lbs of live rock? and what about dragonfish? what should my salinity be at? can i measure this with a gravity hydrometer? if i get LR from an established aquarium, and throw it in there quick will there be die off? is there any point in buying live sand out of a bag? the trace elements are helpful, and which ones are hurtful? im pretty set on regal tangs, and a pair of clowns, maybe some yellow tangs, what kind of price do these usually go for? what is the best way to introduce new fish to an established tank, i know i know alot of questions
