If your just going to put shrooms and rics, I would say 4 with individual reflectors would be fine. If you get a fixture like the original nova extreme, go with 6 bulbs. Individual reflectors make the world of a difference.

OK thanks. Im never sure what to do about lighting. What would be some good bulbs? Iv never had T5's before.

For good growth go with AquaSuns or GE bulbs more white
