I am not close to you but I do have a heater. I would do at least 3 watts per gallon, which would be at least 225 watts for your 75. If you are going to order a new heater I would get two 150 watt heaters and have one in the display and one in the sump as backup. Even if one fails the other can keep up. That's how I have it in my 75 gallon tank right now. Hope someone close to you can help.
