The first pics are hydroids, which are pests. They sting other animals. The next pic is a flatworm, you should get rid of those ASAP as they can become an epidemic really quickly.

The first is a free living hydroid,harmless and will go away in time.The second does look like a flatworm.Time for a sixline wrasse perhaps.

Re: Finally, getting my 75 gallon started

We don't plan on having any fish until April... (we are taking a trip the last week of march and want to wait until we get back.)

Are there any fish-free tactics for getting rid of this stuff?

Re: Finally, getting my 75 gallon started

There's a product called Flatworm Exit that you can use for the flatworms. Since you don't have any animals in your tank, this is probably a good route to go, just make sure you do some water changes before you add animals (although Flatworm Exit is supposed to be reef safe, I still think it's better to dilute it out when you're done, just to be on the safe side).
