Depends what you want to raise. 4 would do for softies. 6 for mixing in a few LSP and SPS and 8 if you want clams or a lot of SPS.
Lamp wise
front
Blue
Actinic
10K
Blue
6 add Aquablue 12K(ATI or Giesemann) and another blue
For 8 add another 10K and a Blue to the 6 lamp mix.
I would use ATI Blue Plus for blues, ATI or UVL Actinics and the UVL Aquasun or GE 6500K Daylight for the 10K.
