The Achilles and Huma lived for 7+ years, and died about two monthes apart...the rest were in there at least 2 years and as much as 5, I gave them to a friend (along with the tank)when I left S. Carolina. The Achilles was aggressive toward all new fish for a day or two, other than that it was perfect harmony....just curious what you thought was so horrible? Too many fish? Too many supposedly aggressive fish? What?

The fish list is excellent but just not for your sized tank they all mostly get really big and have a super big bioload, thats all.

I can't argue with that, and I was very inexperienced and probably got some bad advice for the "guy at the store" that said it was ok when the 7th fish hit the tank...But it did work out very well; All the fish were small when they entered, and stayed relatively small from not being overfeed, and I had a good protein skimmer...I am sure you would agree having an Achilles Tang live 7+ years, the water must have been pretty good....But yes, 5 "big fish" in 75 gallons is a much safer bet.
