WHat I used was pressure treated 2x6's I spaced the 2x6's on top about 1/4-1/2". My lights sit 10" from the water and the back is fully opened. My tank does not get over 83

I'm working on one now. But I'm out of town till Sat morn. and can't get any pics up till then. The way usmc explained is similar to my design. Don't forget, if the heat is a concern you could always get a couple computer fans from Radio Shack.

I did one for my 90 which is the same dimensions as your 75 tank dimensions around the top. I run 2-250watt MH and 2 -48" 110w VHO actinics. The heat really isnt an issue with an open back and fans running on each side pushing cold air in and exiting out the back.
Just finished building: With the lights in: Fans in side:
