The skimmer im running is the MSX,SWC160 Xtreme runs great on my 120 and 30 gallon sump your skimmer would run great on your 75 the more air pulled the better just might half to cut the out pipe you can see the size of the air intake pipe i run, had a buddy take a air reading with air flow meter really can put out 50 SCFH on the 160. It seems like the more weight and denser your mesh is, the more air draw you will have. but ive relized that 35+ to 45 SCFH is alot better for the 8 inch wide skimmer if i had only bought the 200 is 10 inches wow the air i could of pulled here is a link to a nice air flow meter make shur to match the size of the intake air to your skimmer to the air flow meter http://www.dwyer-inst.com/htdocs/flow/SeriesRMPrice.cfm#CRA
