Not sure, if you would want to put say sharks in a tank that size, but maybe a nice eel tank?
If you want to do sharks, i would get maybe 2 at the most and get banded tiger sharks.
JMHO
sharks? in a 75? NO!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes I want to do eels

You can have these in a tank that is 75 Gallons, I wouldnt reccomend it, but it can be done.
The eel tank can be cool, but you have to check because I am not sure how many or what type of eels you can have in one tank :)

I'm with Zack, sharks aren't meant to be kept in 75 gallon tanks; more like 500 gallons. Eels, Lions, hawks, frogfish, etc. would make great inhabitants for a 75 :)

Brown Banded Bamboo Sharks (Chiloscyllium punctatum) have the potential to grow to 3 feet easily if in right conditions. They hatch at about 10 inches and feed on prawns and the like. This in turn produces a lot of waste. When considering a shark just remember this will involve more water changes than your other tanks.
The LFS predator tank has two of these, an epaulette shark, couple of rabbitfish, 3 zebra moray eels, large blue tang and a few other species.
The size of this tank is unknown to me though it is about the same as mine only a foot wider. So roughly its 140-170 gallons. This is the sort of thing you will be looking at for most sorts of predator species(if not bigger 4 sure!!!).
Guides' Notes
Sharks are predators. When keeping other fish with this shark, be sure they are larger enough that the shark won't try to eat them. The Bamboo Shark is commonly found resting on the bottom of the aquarium, which is uncharacteristic of most sharks. A 100 gallon size tank, or larger, is best for keeping them. This gives them ample room for growth, does not deprive them of adequate swimming space, and gives all the other tank inhabitants the space they need to feel less intimidated by it. Because of its dietary preferences, it would not be a good idea to place it in a reef tank where any prized inverts might be eaten.

Dont purchase fish that you do not have the means to house. I have a 220 and wouldnt consider putting a fish that got THREE feet in a TWO foot wide tank. so dont get the Bamboo or the Panther for a little 75
