Siapin -
1. That's what I did, actually searching on 'blue LED bulb', and watching and reading descriptions for a couple of days to learn what's out there. I think I got really lucky with the 180 degree LED's, because the 30 degree ones I have do the spotlight thing - YMMV.
2. I used four LED's (mostly because I blew one of the five I bought) because my 65AGA has a center brace, so I centered two over each open area. If you don't have a center brace on your tank, I would go with either three or four, again space so as to be centered. An 8' piece of 3/4" pvc was 1.19 at my Home Dumpo, so you could probably rig something up with electrical tape and alligator clips and stare at it a while before you decide if you need more or less light, then trash the prototype.
Remember you'll only get 2-3 in each series, so it's pretty easy to just add or subtract groups of LED's.
3. Radio Shack is where I got three rolls of 22 gauge wire for under $10. The different colors are helpful when you are mapping things out.
I wonder if you will want to try rigging something up much different from what I have so you don't block any of the light you have coming from that awesome looking fixture in your picture.
