if the tank is a standard 48" tank, then you should go with 2x250W mh. 2x400W would not be absolutely necessary. a single 400W wouldn't cover the length of your tank by itself.

what are the dimensions of your 75 gallon? i think it would be overkill for it, thats just my opinion. although i have 2x400w 14k reefstars over my 60 inch long tank thats 18 inches wide and 24 inches tall, good luck, hope this helps you...
