400w will probably work fine but i think a 600w would better fit that space. you probably don't need a cooltube for those dimensions if you are ventilating and air conditioning, and like the previous poster said, if you try to get the light really close to the plants then it won't spread as well and it definitely won't fill those dimensions.

12- 24 inches... I default at 24 most of the time..

I have attached a couple of charts that may help you out. I agree with m3dicin3man I don't think you would need a cool tube depending on your ventilation and cooling capabilities. I know this may spark ALOT of feedback, but the glass on the cool tube hoods will reduce the effectiveness of the light. Just sayin' its what I have read and heard.
In any case, I would suggest a 600W dimable system. That way you have some options when running your lights.
Keep us posted and good luck!
