I have a 75g display tank and I've narrowed down the research to the Aquamaxx but i'm not sure if i should go with the FC 120 or 80. Any advice would help thanks.

Are you going to stock heavy with fish? The 80 looks like it would be more then enough for your system.

Well at the moment i have a Purple tang, midas blenny, clown fish, sixline wrasse, and a pink spotted goby. i would like to add a Flame angle and one more clown fish to finish up the stocking. ohh a cleaner shrimp

From what I'm seeing, the 80 is good for tanks up to 70 gallons heavy stocked. So the 80 should work good for you :)
 
For the price, i still think it's hard to pass on these skimmers. IMO, still best bang for the buck. They have an extremely conservative capacity rating.

I agree @gcarroll as far as price and quality. I have heard a lot of good things about it.

A Deltec sca 1351 would also be a great skimmer.

I looked into them both a while back and came to a conclusion that the aquamaxx would be the best bang for my bucks.
