You could probably get by with the 4 light unit putting any SPS in the top of the tank. If you are really serious about light loving corals, you'll need the 6 lamp unit. I am not terribly familiar with tek's but you need to make darned sure you are purchasing a unit with individual reflectors and fans. Lack of either will greatly reduce the output of the unit (in terms of light strength / PUR)

I'd go for the aquactinics T5 unit. Has better reflectors and a fan. Only 5 lamps but it's good enough unless you want nothing but SPS and clams.
