As many as you can fit. I have 2 over the sump and 3 between the light and the tank. Then 2 more blowing from the room into the tank. I do live in Florida though and have MH lights so I am a extreme case.
You can get small clip on fans or small standing fans 3 or 4 inches. I believe I got mine at Target but anywhere should have them. Many use computer fans but I don't have any of those.

I found a computer fan on ebay for 1.25 i put 2 of them in my canopy with 2 250w m/h and they cool fine. if you get a computer fan cut the yellow wire off and u can get transformers at radio shack for 8 bucks or so
