Default koralias and LEDs for a 75g

Hi gang, i havent been on here in ages, but ive recently had more time to devote to my 75g and i have been mostly upgrading the tools that keep my reef going strong. i plan to upgrade my power heads to koralias and that leads me to my first question. for a 75g, will i need 2 K 3s or 2 K 4s? right now i have two power heads on both ends facing one another.. ok question #2. I saw my LFS had added some LED lights above his hanging/suspended (from the ceiling) metal halides and it really made the corals pop. my only problem is that i dont have suspended halides like that, i have the hang on the back kind. so where can i put LEDs? for those who dont know what i mean, i have the MH that look like clamp lamps hanging over the tank. but they are MH. they have since discontinued those things, but it was a great investment at the time. anyways.. so i dont have a canopy or any space on my MH's to add LEDs.. so how else can i do it? any help would be great! thanks!!

I have 2 korelia 4s in my tank and I love the flow. Seems perfect, and I love the broad stream they make, there's no jet like power heads.

As for the LED's, are they a T8 tube style?
