Well as the title says what would you do with a 75g tank? Give me any input, I wanna stay away from a single species or a single fish tank, but ill be open to anything.
What would you do with a 75g tank?

I'd put fish in it. 
Seriously though, I would put some nice cichlids like Jack Dempseys, Convicts, etc. Or it would make a perfect african cichlid tank.

I would turn it into a baby's crib. lol
I have african cichlids in my 75, so I am somewhat biased towards suggesting african cichlids.

comunity of larger fish.
like the sort of fish you cant keep in the "regular" comunity cause they get soo big
or as previously mentioned africans!
problem i found with them is there so damn expensive and i had my tank for a year and none of the females that were holding ever had the babies so i got bored and changed to americans =P

What kind of fish do you like? Why do you care what we would do?
I'd possibly do a Lake Tanganyika tank, or a planted Amazon tank.
Within the next 6-8 months or maybe a little sooner, I'll have the same predicament. I'm upgrading most of the fish in my 75 gallon to a 120, and now I'm mulling over what to do with the 75. On the one hand, I could use it to continue to grow out my ornate longer, but I'm really leaning towards a SE Asian biotope for my clowns to grow out in a few more years till they need a bigger tank.
I'm thinking of getting a little bit more cork bark, doing a cork bark background that I can grow java moss and java fern on, trying to find another bigger piece or two of nice Malaysian driftwood. I also plan on trying out some patches of crypts here and there and maybe some other Asian plants.
For stocking, I'm thinking my 5 clowns as well as maybe another 2-3 4" or smaller clowns. Then another couple species of small loaches that can stay in the tank after the clowns have to move out, maybe a couple kuhli species and/or sids. Then I'll have a few gouramis, SAEs, and fill out the rest of the tank with barbs or rasboras.

a single/group/pair predator as i already have a cichlid community.
maybe a grammodes pair, female festae, high grade FH or a large school of exodons (20+).
