I don't know how much money you have to spend, if you can afford it, but some LED's. they add almost no heat, and you'll get air movement. Not to turn this into a lighting thread, but I have used HPS/MH and LED's and by far LED's are where its at. Biggest BANG for your collective dollar. (Energy bill)/ (grams/M sq.)
They make supplementary lights for only the flowing stage. I have gone through a couple mnf. I use lighthouse now and they are solid lights. Something to think about.

thats the light manufacturer. They Use cree, bridgelux, and another LED maker.. check them out. I think they are good dudes. They sent me a fan for one of my lights free of charge. thats the only issue i've had out of 5 lights, for 2 years.

also, if your crafty you can build your own led lights, and customize it for the application.

forget the led and especially the blackstars. let me see, el you're running 5 blackstar 500 which equals about 1500 actual watts, , you'd do so much better with 2 600 watt hps over your aeroflo its just fucking silly.

1000 watts is enough for that tent. The t-5's would make a minimal difference more of a pain than what it's worth. I wouldn't bother with an led. A friend had one and it didnt compare to hid lighting.
