9 plants under 1000 watts?

For a 6000 watt RDWC bucket system, would 9 plants under each light be good? It would be 54 plants total.

The idea is to use airstones and constant recirculation to keep from needing a large res (~50-100 gallons) The buckets will be chained together in 6, 9 bucket rows, and water would be pumped into the first bucket in each row, eventually making it back to the pump / res.

Does this sound like a good system?

BTW - does anyone know a good place to get cheap 5 gallon buckets that are actually black? Otherwise I'll just get the gray ones from Lowes.
