With cool tubes, well over 2 feet depending on your growing medium's required height below..
Without bulb cooling, aim for 18".. That way if they accidentally hit 2' you should be ok..

id use a 250 and maybe split the grow box in half and have a flower side and a veg side or something like that you should get a hps light and ballast for flowering
