ok i think im on the right track with lightproofing now....
ok here are a few pics of the hopefully better light proofing job any suggestions will be appreciated...ok the first pic is a pvc tube used for vent and its sealed with electrical tape...the second is the fan with foam strips around it to seal out light... the 3rd it the foam stripping i used to light proof the edges where light was getting in on the door...4 is the second tube to vent i believe its from a vacum cleaner...and finnaly 5 is a fan im thinkin about making a hole for its a pretty good fan and ill place a filter over the inside to keep out unwanted stuff and light...anygood or noo rethink the fan...

Karma - It looks like your cabinet has no back - that it's just sitting against the wall. You need to seal the light there too.
Don't neglect to change the water for your clone every day.
That second fan would be good to push air into your cabinet. But you aren't going to be able to block light with a filter. Use some 4" flex vent on both sides of that fan and paint the inside of the vent flat black if necessary to stop the light.

ok wait whee can i find flex vent and can i use like a old shirt or noo....

Flex vent is the stuff that is connected to your clothes dryer. You can get it at Lowe's/HD. Get the vent and some flat black paint and paitn up inside the flex tube as far as you can, then put it thru the wall near the top and hang it down close to the bottom on the inside - so you'll be going flex vent -> fan -> flex vent and that should keep out the light. Don't put a cover over your intake, it'll stop the air flow. If light is getting in, put on another elbow.

ok thnks ill try that the only thing is i may need a smaller fan for that one maybe ill try a similar method but easier ill try takin the vent makin a hole on or near top and runnin it over the other side soo no light gets in and the fan isnt inside the box...i will figure somethin out im good with this type of stuff...

I didn't look at you fan very close. If it is more than 4" you can buy a reducer (Lowe's) for each side, or go with bigger flex vent. (All things considered, reducers would probably be the way to go.)
