With those cichlids I'd go to max 4/5 polys. They do get pretty big and thick eventually. I wouldn't push it 
Officially a Bichir keeper now

The most I'd do is 4 polys. Definitely don't want to push it. My 135 gallon is already pushed. This one I'd like to be a fairly easy tank to manage. I just wanted to make sure that if I DID do 4 it wouldn't be pushing it too much.
You should be fine with that in the 75. You keep you tanks up and that is not bad for the upper jaws.
A couple ideas for you:
One poly I did enjoy having but it was super mean was my palmas palmas.
Also liked my gold dust but it was a hider so you didnt see it too often
Those are beautiful but I think I have my heart set on an albino and a polli. Though the moke's are very pretty too.You should be fine with that in the 75. You keep you tanks up and that is not bad for the upper jaws.

I only have two tank to worry about, the 65 and a 40b, the 40b i water chenge once a week and the 65 3 time a week, i use a pump to drain the water and i have a 60g water drum beside it and i also use the same pump to pump the water in the tank. Only take me 15-20 min to do my water change so doing it 3 time a week is easy for me compared when i had the 180g. Plus i wont be keeping all 18 polys, im just growing them out and pick which one is a stunner then sell the others.
I really need to look into this pump thing. I use a python to change the water in my 135, 40, and 75 and it's taking quite a bit of time. I hope to eventually close down the 40 and just have 2.
I had an albino that I loved but It just would not go past 7" and at that point I started down the dark path of big poly with a weeksii. I do miss that one because it was so active. I never kept a polli but did the palmas palmas instead. From what I have heard from others the polli are a nice active poly. Sounds like you have some nice polys in mind.
Definitely, I prefer the more active ones. I like to be able to see my fish. though i guess that's not a problem with the bigger guys since they are usually larger than most of the decor in the tanks.
This is mine, but i dont have the roselines and bala sharks no more since i traded them for the 2 odoe pike
Oh man. That is a beautiful tank! That's your 65?
What is the small one at about 30 seconds in with the bright green fins. Beautiful.
