Tek lighting

Whats up guys..I'm about to pick up my Tek light tommorow (4x39w) for my 30 gallon. I wanted opinions on if this will be enough for now and the future ahead. I don't plan on purchasing another light for awhile and I heard to go Tek or ATI. Anyway, let me know what you guys think about this fixture especially if you have/had one!
Also, do you reccomend I go for the 6 lamp model OR is this 4 lamp model okay for my 30g? thanks in advance dudes!

My mato with t5's is always get as many bulbs as you can/afford. Me i have both ati and tek. ATI on my main and tek on frag, i like the ATI for cooling and over all look, along with the better preformance. Tek is good as long as you have a fan. I would go 6 over for because even if you only have a four bulb combo you want Atinic is always SO sweet to look at.
