Show your clownfish setups

I'm looking to set up a tank with a pair of clowns as the main inhabitants and want to see your setups. This tank will likely be in the 50-75 gallon range. Any pictures and info would be appreciated.
 
Hi Beetlejuice, here are a couple of examples maybe to get you thinkin':

37g oceanic tank (was set up in my apt. in college) housed a pair of black Amphiprion ocellaris and a sixline wrasse. Simple HOB filter/skimmer, PC lighting, and a couple of powerheads were the only equipment, but I only kept "hardy" soft corals and did a 20% monthly WC. The tank has since been moved and looks mostly the same, but I traded the ocellaris (now a spawning pair) for tricinctus clowns:

58g oceanic tank housed a pair of A. bicinctus, a pair of Pseudochromis fridmani, and a single half-moon angelfish (Pomacanthus maculosus). Every fish and coral in the tank was tank-bred or tank-raised (and all of the fish can be found in the Red Sea). I used the same equipment set-up as the 37g, but used less rock to allow for open swimming areas for the angel (she has since been moved to a 300g, as she outgrew the 58g within 8 months):
