 E's Rubbermaid Grow
Hey all,
I really need opinions on this. I'm too impatient to wait for my cabinet because I'm still planning it, so I have started a rubbermaid system.
Instead of rubbermaid I found two 30 gal totes by Silite. I liked them better because the sides are flatter and it is more square than rounded. The dimensions are 32"L X 19.5"W at top and 26"L X 15"W at base and 17" Tall. I have estimated the volume to be 4.7 cf.
For lights I want to use 24" T5s and have a choice of 2
a. Sun System Spectra Max 24" t5 which contains the following:
4 24 in tubes and 150 watt HPS between 2 tubes on each side with
dual switches to one or both to work at same time.
b. Sun System New Wave 24" t5 with 4 tubes.
For ventalation I have thought using either two 4" Whisper Fans rated at 100 CFMs or one 6" Whisper Fans rated at 230 CFMs. I have estamated the CF of both totes at 9.4 CF.
Which light would be better for this? Do you think the T5s are overkill?
Is the fans enough to control the heat?
I painted the interior with a first coat of primer for plastics and a second coat of bright white reflective paint.
I need to order the light and fans and need opinions.
