can't find Gt. GDFather NYC arrival 1875 from Germany

Looking for arrival details in NYC in 1875 of my Gt GDFather named: Fred Johann Reck aka Johann Frederick Reck.
Naturalization request in NYC aka Johann F. Reck dated Jun 7 1899 b. 1855 Germany states arrival Nov 1875. He is listed in the 1892 New York City census along with wife and family. The 1900 census has him and family incorrectly listed as Rack not Reck - prob. language sounds difficulties.

There is a Fred Reck age 18 yrs in the June 1875 New York City census as a boarder at
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/VNVC-99P

Not sure if this is the correct person.

Can’t locate ANY arrival in New York City of Gt Gd Father. Tried Castle Gardens and NYC arrival passenger lists such as Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild at http://www.immigrantships.net/ but I can't find him. I do not have and my local library does not have access to Ancestry.com. Suggestions for arrival infomation?
