It is a 250 gallon mixed reef with 225 pounds of live rock, plenty of places for each to stake a claim.
The smaller of the 2 has choosen a rock with a big hole thru the middle.
He sits in there poking his head out looking around! It is the coolest thing!
Still trying to get a good pic.

thanks for the kind words!
We found that the 2 most important pieces of equipment for a reef tank are the lights and the protein skimmer. IMO don't go cheap on either one! That's not saying that the most expensive is always the best, just saying don't go cheap you will regret it later.
2 x 250 seems like a lot of light for a 72 gallon tank, but that all depends on what you want to keep in the tank. I am probably not the best to make recommendations.
Check out the the DIY and Equipment forum, lots of good advice to be found there for all equipment!
Good Luck!

FYI; crocea clams like the rockwork more than the sandbed.

i doubt he will be, but if he is attached DO NOT PULLL!!!!!!! either leave him be or try to pry him off of the bottom glass with a razor blade. make sure you cut/pry as far away as possible if you decide to go this route! if you cut too close or rip anything it will kill the clam.
if he is attached, then that means he is happy, even though they live rockwork more, id leave him in the case.
