Try a saltwater fish store for tanks. We have a ton of these stores around the Detroit Metro area and what's nice about these tanks is that the tanks are typically larger than a freshwater tank because of all the coral & rocks that goes along with saltwater setups. Also you might be able to get a better deal. A 75 gal is definitely not something you want to play around with in terms of just rigging something for it to set on. Have a store deliver it. Most delivery services will actually set up the tank for you too if you ask (fill with water, take old tank away, etc.).
The 90gal I just got was $800 which included a gorgeous wood cabinet & canopy for the top of the tank. I got what I wanted, AND it was overall cheaper than if I had gone with one of the larger retailers. The same set up would have cost me a few hundred more (yes, I did look!).
Good luck!
