I will probably be getting a 75 gallon sometimes this year and would like to know which fish and invertebrates that are good for a 75 gallon can live 10+ years

All depends on your set-up and your husbandry. Fish and inverts need plenty live rock to be able to hide, keeps the stress down on the fish hence happy fish that live longer. Second you get the whole micro biome with the rock.
Second is what you feed your fish. If you just go down the dry food fishstore crap don't expect them to live a long life. Supply them with what they eat in the ocean and again happy colourful fish that live longer. I make my own food and freeze it and feed macroalgae I grow. The colours on my fish are striking.
There are more factors like how long the lights are on... but I'd say most fish and inverts can live longer than we think if kept right.

Thank you for the response! I plan on getting live rock to use this time and I plan on feeding dry foods in the morning and some natural foods like mysis and squid and whatever else I can find at night.
