Been several years, used to grow a good deal but usually started inside and moved out during early veg.
Let me know what you think.
Here’s a little run down...
Have 48x48x80 grow tent, 600 watt led...probably going to use this in my smaller tent for seedlings in the future.
doing two feminized plants from Seedsman.
Have a water system I’ve been designing, small pump <40 gph and I will not be doing hydro recycling, placing grow bags in 5 gal buckets with gap in bottom to collect run off.
Do have TDS and ph meter for runoff testing, was a professional brewer for several years so water treatment is not an issue.

using aggregate 4 mix+ for medium.

Have air system with upgraded carbon filter and added 8” fan for extra movement.

let me know what you all think. Especially interested in tips regarding nutes, what to use, best way to add and when.

Yes, you're correct you'll need 500-600 watts of good leds or CMH, HPS for that space.
I'm a bit unclear on what you're doing with the pump/rez setup but the rest looks fine.

You need a much bigger light for a 4x4 that little burple is way to small. Im not an LED guy so dont ask me what light.

You have a good start on ventilation check out this info

Ventilation 101 - How to Ventilate Your Grow Space

Ventilation is a vital factor in your plant growth. By supplying fresh air from outside your grow tent, you provide CO2 for your plants, driving their photosynthesis. Expelling the air inside will keep temperature and moisture build-up under control, preventing mold and mildew from inhibiting...

Fans to circulate the air in the tent?

If you're planning on watering from the reservoir, you might run into issues with the lifespan of nutrients mixed in water. Most nutrients, from what I've read, are only good for up to a week.
