Outfitting the new clonebox

whats going on ladies and gents. I am just about to purchase the new clonebox L which is big enough for the 4 ft t5 fluorescent lighting sytems and I was hoping to get some feedback as to what I need to fully outfit it. In this cab you can divide it with shelves and I want the bottom to be a veg section with t5s used for lighting. On the top I would like to put my diy aerocloner and bonsai mother plants. I am not sure about how much light I need up there yet.

1. First I need to find the exact dimensions of this clonebox L. If wormsway.com was working right now I could find it.

2. Next I need to know which t5 system to buy to make the bottom half of this cab a full out veg section. I have been looking at the pioneers t5 systems and wonder if it would be worth it to go with the 8 bulb over the 6 bulb. are these t5 sytems just as good as any?

3. I need to know what exhaust fan to go with. thinking about the sunleaves 4 inch wind tunnel fan with 200cfm for 140 bucks. If you dont think Ill need an inline, let me know what you think I should go with.

4. what small carbon scrubber is good for this application. I just do not want to worry about smell at all. I also dont want to get a huge carbon scrubber for just a veg/mom/clone cab.

5. What should I do for lighting the top half of the cab for the mother and clone section. obviously i do not need 8 bulb t5 set up, but do i need the t5s at all. would 2 4 ft fluor fixtures from lowes be fine up here? let me know what you guys think for lighting up there.

any other things I am forgetting to mention? let me know if you guys think I have missed something or if there is something Im not seeing. looking to put this thing up and show the pictures this week. the quicker I get your info the quicker I go to the store baybeeee


appreciate the help and love to the community ft100

i found out the new clonebox large from homebox is 49.25" x 25.5" x 47.25". I will have this room for the top to be a mother/clone section and the bottom to be an all out veg area. help me out with what lights to veg with. I was thinking about skipping the t5s altogether and going with the cheap fluoros just to save money. what advantages do the t5s have really? i mean 300 bucks for a fixture etc when i could get a regular 4 ft fixture for half of that or less with bulbs? let me know

well the 6 bulb 4ft t5s with grow bulbs are ready to go, got the 4 inch inline fan with a 4 inch 200 cfm rated carbon filter and I am getting there. pics to come when the loose ends are tied.
 
i'm glad they increased the size from 43.3"....never really made any sense why so small anyway...i mean its kinda like driving someone 500 miles home then stopping a couple blocks from the house....atleast now a 4ft lamp can be used

i am thinking of maybe getting one as well...i was reading the "bonsai mom"thread and i could fit 18 moms under a 4ft 8 bulb t-5....should give me 250 clones every 8 weeks..... i hope anyway.....
