Thanks sotla
I could have taken more pictures to be honest but i tend to forget about them when im actually doing a certain part because i want to get it right. There will be alot more pics when its up and running.
This light is really bright i cant wait to see the other one!! They were expensive so i want better results obvioulsy than i would get with a cheaper light but only time will tell. The guy said to me that i would match a 1000 watt MH with his lights, to be honest if it matches what i would have got from a 600 watt HPS i will be well happy, anything more i would be ecstatic.

I got the backs, sides and doors of each cab lined with fatmat today, i have left tops and bottom until ive drilled holes. Its very easy to apply and has bonded well on the wood.
I realised that i need an arbour with my hole saw lol so thats on its way too.
If you get time over the weekend mate take a look at that link and let me know what i need, there is a list of nutes a few pages back so ill get those also plus those hanging cord things if you say they are the ones i need. Ill go down the bank then next week and pay cash, ill have the stuff the next day so hopefully wont be long now until the top cabs are done, just a bit of tidying and cleaning to do then and handles to buy and locks.

No more nails should work fine... I used anti mould white bathroom sealant, But I suppose they will both do a simerlar job...However I am not sure if No More Nails is mould resistant? - STEALTHY

It would do no harm... and could offer extra sound proofing. But it means you'll have to cover the doors with Mylar again to keep reflectivity at its best
.. What do you think? - STELTHY

Yeah man those 'Easy Rolls' are great...How many hanging points do each of your LED panals have? ...You'll need 1 'Easy Roll/s' for each hanging point on both your lights and you'll need either some strong but small-ish 1" hooks (white rubber coated - HomeBase) or some net curtain sort of 'loop screws' to hang the rollers from.When you get a minute mate take a look on here please http://www.greenshorticulture.co.uk/Grow-room-Products-20/Ducting-Ductwork-110/

Its best to place each light at its lowest point .. That way you can avoid any obsticles in the way such as 'Odor Soc' for eg/, then you can hang/suspend you lights as central as possible for equal coverage of each of your 4 tubs (baring in mind the whole cabs lined with Mylar reflection won't be a problem expecially with your knarly LED lights !!!)

That all sounds good, is that in the main grow-cab area or is that in the top section...Remember if you've applied it over the Mylar, You'll need to re-apply more Mylar on top.. it should be in this order if this makes sense :
INTERIOR WOOD > FAT-MAT > MYLAR
Correct me if I'am wrong but do you have it in this order :
INTERIOR WOOD > MYLAR > FAT-MAT......... & Then > MYLAR again ?
(If so its not a problem just means you'll have to use twice as much Mylar)
But I'd imagine an added layer would only improve muffling the sound...So thats all good!How much did you pay for your holesaw blades.. I bought a cheap 'Challange' pack of 6 with Arbour included for under £15 from Argos.. I'll add a LINK if I can find one shortly
I've checked out the LINK and the Easy Rollers are defo the way to go, I'll go through the LINK again tommoz and write down as well as attach a diagram with the parts you'll need... I may list parts that you already have so just acknowledge that and make note of the parts I list that you don't have and .. need Are you going to get some nice chrome stylish handles that gives you the impression of 'great quality' when you hold them ready to open the door to your prized grow area? !! I'll be back soon with the info & Pics

I wasnt going to cover the top cabs with mylar mate as i didint think they needed to be reflective?

Ah sorry dude, I may have got my wires crossed
Yeah the top cabs dont need to be reflective.. Just use the Fatmat once you've cut the holes etc - STELTHY

umm.. The bubbles in the bucket's do make a noise but its not really loud, plus you can use an air-line-pressure adjuster to slow the speed the air is released into the pots at.. Most good aquatics shops sell them but it may be worth asking the dude you got the pumps from if he has a couple that are intended for use with the pumps you will be running

Pretty much copy the diagram above (top section) install it all as close to the back of each cab as possible without anything touching the back. Make sure you have enough room for the bends etc and take ur time... its better to measure everything a hundred times and get it right than to go at it like a bull in a china shop and make a regrettable mistake.. I have faith in you dude, admittedly I would like to be there and help out hands on, But hey lol
I am sure if you copy the diagram and measure the exacts - this should all go very well indeed I have been real busy today so I will upload another (new) diagram and the components you'll need tommoz when I also upload my MONDAY UPDATE pics etc.. If your going to cut the holes, measure, measure, measure then cut with confidence.. Good luck BudBaby, I'll catch up with you tommoz - STELTHY
Right mate im thinking of cutting the holes in the top cabs tomorrow while me sis is free, Will it be ok for me to fit the bed so that its facing me and then attatch the filter? If i can it will mean sis can get in and fix the bend at the back and as long as the filter is comming back into the cab i shoulod be able to reach it etc if need be.
Fan stands are straight forward to fit but ill have to decide exactly where i want it on the side of the cab and then fix it in place and try and draw round the hole i will need to cut.
I imagine i will have to leave a gap between the fan and roof of cab for ducting comming off the fan and going into the bend?
