Enough light and FAE

Hello, I am in the process of incubating my jars and bags, I have a new setup, not sure if this will work. I posted a picture below. I’m wondering if I can get away with 2 tubs side by side, it’s crowded for sure but if I place my fan to hit the wall across from it, i assume in a 5x5 room it will circulate easily. And if I just adjust my polyfil on the first day or so I should be good to go, we will see any tips?
I am also curious if my light is placed properly. I am going to angle it differently to hit the tubs better, however I remember reading somewhere that a simple light fixture already built into the room is just fine, and that cubensis only needs the stimulation of light, it doesn’t need heavy duty light setup, I’ve read people set them by windows and that’s good enough. Not sure tho.
And I’m wondering if this will affect my incubator, since it is a clear tub, I think I remember you want to keep it covered to prevent pins from popping in the jar, but you also want to allow airflow for venting. Can anyone help and confirm these? Thank you so much!

In a 5x5 I would start without a fan. I use vertical lighting with shelves, four foot LEDs 6500k/5200lm. It's gonna be hard to get light on all those surfaces with one bulb I think but it would work ok if you don't feel like spending more I'm sure, could be better though.
Wouldn't even worry about the incubator, it's fine if it gets light if you do use it.

Okay I have three 4 foot ballasts, I’m probably going to remove shelving because it actually restricts some room. I’m thinking about stacking the tubs, only downside is moving them all around to mist Them twice a day. I will go get bulbs for my 4 foot ballast and put one one each side of the Tubs, one behind the tubs and one in front, thatll work just fine.
I also wonder, with no fan there is virtually no air flow. Stays at a constant 73-75 which is perfect. And with no airflow stacking them Side by side like that might be tricky for FAE

Use the shelf man. No need to mist twice a day that's excessive.

It’s just kind of crowded and takes up a extra 1ftx 1ft. Which is valuable and I think I’ve seen doc do it that way(stacking tubs.) I could probably fit 2 more tubs that way and they won’t be so crowded. But I don’t remember how heavy monotubs are, might not be able to stack that many.
