What kind of fish are you thinking of putting in there? A lot of people go by the rule 1" of fish per gallon but it doesn't apply to most fish, larger fish need more room. You should first figure out the types you want then either ask again (or if you know then just add more details) or look up some info about each type and it should tell you how much space they need. You will also find out if they can all be kept together.
I know nothing about salt water tanks other then it's not easy unless you have done a lot of research and know what you are doing. I suggest looking around on some salt water tank sites and maybe even join a forum to make sure you understand every correctly. If you do join a forum I'm sure the people can help you with any stocking questions as well.

A salt water fish tank is hard (and expensive to keep up with). I highly reccommend you do a little research on it and viist some salt water stores to ask questions. Also if you have never done a salt water aquarium before - I don't reccommend starting off with a 75 gallon.
Get a small 10 gallon and learn the how to's before you move on to a 75 gallon. It will save you money and a lot fo frustration in the long run.
I know it might come off as rude - but it really is harder then just throwing fish in some water. Salt water fish are more expensive and more sensitive. And even though Nemo was a sweet guy - clown fish can be agressive.
So I serious suggest visiting a salt water fish store and talking to some experts there.

Depends on the kind of fish. If it's goldfish, allowing for growth and the rule of 20 gallons per grown fancy goldfish, maybe 4 goldfish. If it's tropicals, using the 1 inch of fish per 1 gallon of water and allowing for an average adult size of 4 inches, maybe 20 fish, depending on what type of fish you choose. Compatibility in personalities, water temperature and water quality also needs to be considered.

IMO Oscars could be a breed purely tank because of the fact they are monsters and the bala sharks and eel will want that lots to themselves as they enhance too...%. the two the sharks (you extremely could have 3 and in a a hundred twenty five gallon tank) the eel or the oscar or you are able to anticipate some problems.

A good rule of thumb is for every inch of full grown adult fish is one gallon. so about 75 inches worth of fish.
