For the 360 series I run one per foot. My 36in tank has three of them. Why? To reduce shadowing as much as possible. I have quite a few Acro's.

For that footprint I'd probably do 5? With 3 evenly spaced kind of in the back, and two sort of closer to the front you know? That may help reduce shadowing

totally depends on placement of corals, but, 4-5 sounds about right for SPS

I got away with 2 kessils and a 4 foot dual t5 on a 6 foot tank with careful coral placement,

it was a mixed reef, looked beautiful and thrived for years.
