New Tank Set up

[mudd puppy]

I am buying a 72x24x24 bow front tank. I am wanting to DIY all the mechs. I need ideas, plans, pics, and about how much LS/LR for this tank. About how many fish can I keep. I want this to be a reef tank.

155? Is it reef ready? Are you getting a custom hood? What inverts do you want to keep? Softies? LPS? SPS?
May work out better to target questions to specific items. ie lights, filtration, LR, LS. Just too much stuff for one post.
