do you have prior experience w/ SW?
start by filling the tank w/SW and a heater.
go to LFS/online and get ABOUT 70 lbs of rock, i'd say like 20:50 live to base
setup the rocks in your tank,
add substrate (live sand, aragonite, crushed coral, sand.....)
allow to sit and cycle for about two weeks
add maybe like 5 damsels
cycle another two weeks
start adding hardy species like clowns, grammas, hawk fish, squirrelfish, wrasses, jawfish, gobies, blennies, cardinals..........
if you want one "big" fish wait 3 weeks after adding rocks and add the fish.

I suggest you start by adding a whole lot of silicone. I have had four 72 bows spring leaks. None were in the same place twice. The last one had me out of my home for almost three months while the restoration work was completed.
In addition to my experience, I have had two customers at the store where I used to work, as well as two customers at the current store where I work have the same problems. Always the 72 bows.
I also know of many people who have had 72 bows for years with no problems.
