Effective setup?

I have a Dayton 465 CFM squirrel cage fan.

Smaller Dayton 165 CFM fan of the same style

Two 3x3x6.5 Grow tents.

A 400 Watt Lumatek MH/HPS Ballast

A 250 Lumatek MH/HPS Ballast on the way

Just need two reflectors but cant decide on A cool tube or this which has a rubber gasket completely sealing the reflector and a better light spread.

My plan was to run the 250 Watt MH in the Veg Box. The 400 Watt In the flowering box. Will this stay cool enough? Ambient temperature of the room is about 70-75f and all exhaust is run directly into an attic through the ceiling.

Now the most effective way to run the Air cooled hoods is my big question. Should i Y off the 465 and run it to both hoods. Or Run the 465 CFM witht he 400 Watt HPS, and the 150 for the 250 Watt.
