You could try a scrubber first and see how it goes and then later on add the skimmer when necessary. It's not one or the other. You can use both.

OK I am a thinking of trading in my one occellaris getting a pair of clakiis. Would there be enough room for them in the 75?

Don't mix clownfish.
Clarkiis are pretty cool little fish. I just got a couple of tomato clowns myself. I don't like the standard nemo's anymore. I'm more into the off/odd stuff these days.

No I mean like a pair of clarkiis instead of orange/white clownfish and black/white clownfish.

the space shouldn't be an issue
They are very agressive and may attack fish added after them
and I have kept a maroon and a nemo clown together with no issues

Come on guys help me out please would you get a protein skimmer or ats first or black and white occellaris with orange ocellaris or a pair of clarkiis

I mean for the fish are clarkiis that aggresive?

a large female are more aggresive than the males
they get even more aggresive if they have eggs
If you keep them with larger or more aggresive fish (i.e. dwarf angels, damsels, larger wrasses) then you shouldn't have an issue
like I said before a skimmer would be my choice over ats
but its all your choice

My tank is very lightly stocked now but what happens when I have 9 fish and some corals?

I had nine fish and all I was running was a skimmer and a wet/dry filter
but I also worship my water changes
