If I read it correctly it looks like he`s pushing 250 watts of MH lighting plus 400 watts of HPS lighting. Not sure what type of bulbs are in the T5`s. There are several types of bulbs that can be used in them standard T5 bulbs, veg bulbs or flower bulbs. So thats 650 watts of HID lighting not including the T5 lighting.
Right i have 650 watts of hid and 150watts in t5 and im sorry the area plants are in is 3.5 ft pretty much squared i have another t5 four 2ft fixture and another 250 hid im using plantmax bulbs in t5
So your using 800 watts of combined lighting. I`d say you have enough but if you can manage the heat the more light the better. I`ve never mixed HID with T5`s though.
