Lighting depends a lot on what you are going to keep in the tank. If you are going to do SPS or clams then a couple of 175 / 250 MH 10k xms would go great on a 75. Do you have a hood for it? You need about 8 to 12 inches of room between the bulb and the water. You can build one or go with pendants.

Don't forget that MH builds a lot of heat. You need fans or a chiller. Another reason to go sump. I have a fan blowing in my sump and 2 in the canopy.
Ditto

Plus what kinda live stock are you going to get for it? FOWLR or reef or mixed reef?
