You will struggle with DEs and that ceiling height. It’s doable with a high plant count.

3 4x16 rolling benches.
16 lights. 4x4coverage. Covering a 16x16 area.
8 tons of AC, preferably central.
2 Shaefer16vk in each corner.
2 quest 225s

Couldn’t find the 16vk, they only have a 12 or 20 now, or bigger sizes. Which would you recommend?

20. One in each corner.

I’d still go with two 225 over the 506. The redundancy can be a harvest saver. Your 506 breaks, your fucked. One of your 225 breaks, the other should be able to keep up for a little bit.
I’d do the same thing with ac units. Get two. One breaks the other will keep you going till it’s fixed. Yes it cost more upfront but they save one harvest and your paid back in full.

Am I the only one who is wondering how/why someone with such basic questions is setting up such a large grow space? We are talking tens of thousands in space, lights, a/c, dehu, tables, pumps, tanks, ro, etc, etc, etc.???

I'm not criticizing (well, maybe being judgmental - but this is the internet and I'm bored), but I would never consider that kind of project if I didn't already know every last thing about how to accomplish it.......

Just musing.... Nothin personal. And no, I don't know shit about a project this size. Carry on.

If money isn't an issue I would hang some Timber Fatty's in there and call it done. Their coverage recommendations are spot on, each fatty covers a 5x5 foot area. So I am thinking about 12 of those should do the trick.
