couple of possibilities
what you really need is 4 lights but that will cost you some bucks.
here is what i recommend. get yourself a second 1000 watt light
and then get yourself a mover. as movers go not all are created equal so get this one.

http://www.agramover.com/

you can get them from the company on ebay for around 170. and the fucker uses Unistrut from home depot at around 17 bucks for a 10 footer you slice the strut at around 4 feet and span the room
and throw both lights on the mover and move them using the remainder of the strut side by side. you will only have to move them about 3 feet back and forth to cover the entire tent.
problem solved

I'd rather doing what mrshark suggested, 2x 1000w on a light rail. Otherwise you want 4 light, not 3. Also the hydro bill will be lower and will produce better or equal harvest with only 2 lights on a mover than 3 lights. Yeah you should consider cooltube as well, but for 2 lights your 6" fan should be enough.

Do you have any temp issue? CO2? RO water? All theses factors play big role in the harvest.

no need for cool tubes if your hoods are vented
simply throw a passive 6 inch duct into your intake at floor level with pantyhose on the end to keep the bugs out. then slap the filter on the 6 inch fan and duct though both lights and vent out problem solved!
