4 or 6 bulbs sufficient?
I am looking at buying a 60" ATI T5 fixture for my new 6' tank.
4 or 6 bulb? LED instead? I will have fish and soft corals only in it.

6 bulbs would allow you to keep full SPS in the future.

My vote is BuildMyLED.com LED fixtures. Their website has PAR charts so you can calculate your light field to decide how many fixtures and what lens angle to use.
