How many bulbs?

I am converting an aquarium to better use, so I can grow some orchids in my office.

Dimensions: 48" x 21" x 12" (L x H x D)

I plan to have Paphs & Phals on/near the bottom,
and some small Vandaceous plants mounted higher up.

I am going to buy a fixture with 48" T5 tubes. Do I need 4 tubes, or will 2 be enough?
