1 1000w HPS will cover a 4x4 area nicely. I dont think it would be sufficient for a 4x8 table unless you got a light mover. I would suggest 2 600w hps lights. You would be alot happier with the results. 600's put out the most lumens per watt.

-Try to keep your pH at around 5.8 for hydro.
-Res temp should be around 60 - 70ish (it will hold more oxygen if it closer to 60 though)
-What nutes are you using? young seedling should be able to handle a few hundred ppm then slowly increase the amounts.
