I use 4x55w t5ho cfl's+150w hps, I like the mix myself. Don't listen to the haters, wonderful things can be done with cfl's alone if you are so inclined. If this is your first grow that's an adequate set up for a small grow.
Only thing I would change is have the carbon filter line exhausting from the top outlets on the tent (fan and carbon filter placed at the top). Tents work best with negative air pressure, and exhausting from the top of the grow will maximise heat exchange.
Good luck!
In the 80's I knew a guy who kept caimen's (like an alligator) and beehives for security. Had those insect repelling sonic horns that were hooked up to his alarm system. Alarm go's off, insta swarm.
He is an interesting guy.
METAL! I love it, so I play my babies weed love song metal. Thank you Ozzy.

Get this and a fan controller, as much ventilation as you will need with room to grow. (this may be as cheap as you will ever see a 4" inline fan of quality) No, not my sale but I have bought from this guy before, awesome service
