As a newbie on the verge of constructing his own cabinet, I am in-debted to the document of your progress! This is fantastic!
I plan on building something much smaller and have a few questions...
I noticed in your list of parts that you have some serious Wattage going on - do you have any guess on what your persistent power draw will be once you are up and running?
Also, I was thinking of doing two plants (there's just little ole me and friends I feel are worthy

) in a cabinet approximately 4ft L x 3ft W x 5ft H - is there substantial difference in light reflection than if I went square? also - I was planning on housing all of the hydro equipment inside of the room... does anyone have advice on my cabinet size? Am I going overboard for two plants?
Not to hijack your thread will a flurry of questions - it's just that when you are this thorough, you incite (or excite) the rest of us!
All the best,
