Fish tank grow box, comments appreciated!

So with being as discrete as I can be, I was thinking about using a 20gal fish tank for a stealth grow box. These were my means of making this happen..
- 4 CFL lights above
- Use reflective material on inner parts of the fish tank
- Line outside of walls with white poster board (for any leak spots)
- Using 2 computer fans, I'd place one at the bottom as an intake and the other up top as an exhaust (heat rises)
- Since not much height space use a shallower pot for the plant to sprout in that would be able to drain so over-watering would not be an issue
- Once it grows to about 6-8 inches tall, either make a SCROG or take the tops of the plant and pull them downward towards the soil. By taking a twist tie so that it would train it down ward, Rinse-n-Repeat. I was hoping that this would enable the plant to keep growing but as more of a bush type of feature, considering the small allotted space

Feeding it/them nutrients and watering often, or as to when the soil feels dry to the touch of my finger.
I was hoping that for the space I have and how lucrative I'd like to keep this, it would be a sufficient idea. With the fish tank being longer i could fit multiple plants within it and even have a little bit of space for some cloning action. I'm not looking to make huge quantities but enough for myself.

--Let me know what you think plz! All comments are greatly appreciated as well criticism!!

your idea will work but why use a fish tank you could use an old wardrobe or even a cardboard box that way you can cut a hole for your inlet fann an you wil have a lot less light leaks
