Keep in mind the yellows and hippos will outgrow the 75 with time, I have one of each in my 90 and they'll even outgrow that one. If you wanted a smaller tang, kole tangs are cool or Tomini Tangs are both smaller species.
That said: Stay away from manderians as your tank will be to new unless you suppliment pods in. 6 line wrasse, royal grammas would be cool but put it in last, cardinals are nice.
Are you going reef or fish only. Any Live rock, if your going fish only you could look at some dwarf angels ie... flame angel, bi-color angel, coral beauty, lemonpeel... Smaller butterflies would offer some nice color ie... long nose, raccoon, pearl scales..

going to have some corals...zoos...
so how do you know when the tang and hippo outgrow the tank...from what i read 75 gallon tank would be ok for a yellow tang...and hippo...alot of places say minmum tank size for both tang and hippo is 55 gallon...
i was looking at
sixline wrasse
bicolor blennie
coral beauty
small yellow tang
small blue hippo
i just dont want fish to attack my clowns...
keep the suggestions coming and thanks

I've always heard at least 125gal on yellows, but IMO you'll be ok for a while. other fish would be good adds. You could consider a midas blennie rather then the bi-color. There a nice yellow and look cool swimming, just a thought. But yeah good choices. Make sure to put the wrasse in last, 6-lines are known for being little stinkers to new adds. Nother overly mean, i just think they have little brother/sister syndrom. LOL
