Well after reading how bad the Seaclone skimmer i bought is i decide to return and now I'm on the search for a new one, and here are the choices:
Octopus Hang-on-Back Protein Skimmer
or
AquaC Remora Skimmer
What are peoples opinons and what size should I get for a 75gal?

Both are good skimmers. I own an AquaC Remora Pro, myself. I think the Octopus is the better skimmer, however. Can't say for sure, though, as I never owned one.
I had a seaclone and upgraded to the remora pro with the Rio pump. bit loud but not that bad. if you don't have surface skimming try out the skimmer box. I have it and its made that film of yuck go away from the top of the water. its easy plug in and adjust the cup. I too was stuck between these to skimmers, but ended up going with the remora b/c a lot more people have them. Cant say that the octopus is bad since i have never tried it out. hopefully someone can chime in who have used the octopus.
