power head positioning for a 125g reef

I currently have 2 hydor koralia 3's on each end of my tank located about 3/4 of the way towards the top blowing down on a slight angle and my main return (1000 gph) skimming the top of my tank to help with oxygenation. I am looking to get more into SPS's and I know they require more flow. I am also looking to purchase a wave maker control all my power heads.
My question is, if I wanted to add more power heads where would I place them?? and would I get more hydor koralia 3's or back the additional heads down to 2's or 1's???? Also, any suggestions on a good wave maker controller??
Thanks.........pics of your current setup would be awsome!!!!!!!!!

You just have to position them in whatever way works best for your tank.
In my 54 gallon corner tank, I have 2 Seio 2600s under the rock work pointed straight down (bare bottom tank) and 2 Koralia #4s for additional water movement.
