Let's say you have a 75 gallon system with 85lbs of live rock, 4 inches of
live sand and a protein skimmer as your filtration. You want a system that
is mostly fish with a few invertebrates, besides the clean up crew. What
would be max amount of fish, in inches, that such a setup could safely
support? Thanks.

it would really depend on the type of fish you wanted to keep.

predator fish are going to require more gallons per fish size then say
clowns.

1 Volitan Lion would be maxing out a 75g IMO.
