    Ok to get it going but you will need to get the lighting closer, soon. The light may be 6 or 7 inch from the top of the screen buts probably 12 inch from the bottom of the screen. In addition to this, a screen that size needs about 120watts of light, either 120 on 1 side or 60 on each side. The size you actually need to run depends on your estimate of how much food you feed ( in 1 cubic cm increments ).
