that will depend on what type of corals you're wanting to keep. 4 would be fine for lower light corals such as mushrooms and softies etc. With 6 you'd be able to keep pretty much anything (SPS higher in the tank, with more flow etc).

I was going to go with 6 bulbs over my 90 (same dimensions as your tank) and from what I'd read you'd be able to sustain/grow anything (even clams) but went with MH instead.
