I have a 75gal tank with about 50lb live rock, 10 fish, a few small corals
and about 3 in of aragonite gravel. Should I regularly vacuum the gravel or
is whatever is in the gravel part of the biofilter?

That depends on what substrate you have. If you have a deep sand bed than
just leave it be. You can suck the very, and I do mean, very top off just to
get some of the big chunks out of the tank. But if you have a shallow sand
bed, or gravel, crushed coral or other large substrate you will have to
vacuumed it to get all the gunk out. It sounds like your tank is in this
category. Good luck!
