Can I stack flood tables? veg/flower

[Prodaytrader]

I want to put a second flood table below my first one. I was thinking I could drain the top table right into the bottom table and the bottom could drain into a res. I want a second table to put clones and moms in. For lighting I have some T-5's that I can hang under the top table. I have real good cooling in this space and T-5's don't get all that hot anyway, so I figure 1 - 2" is all I need to allow for the lights in this space. Think 15" clearance would be enough between the middle? If my mom's got any bigger I would simply clip them back. Do u think I could get away with putting a veg table underneath my flower table? I would have to use the Lucas formula which allows for a constant nute formula from veg to flower since my res would be feeding flowers, mom's and 2 week old clones. For fresh clones I have a small cloner that I can use. Also, since the veg table needs a different light cycle, I will need to completely seal off the top table so no light shines upward. You can see this will be easy accomplished with a little more Panda Film.

Here is what I am working on. The right side of the table is where I am going to keep my mom's. I haven't put a top on yet. Currently there is about 26" clearance inside that tall section on the right. The lower section is where I will keep clones and it's about 14" clearance, both of these number are above water line which will be a 4" flood. I'm not real happy with the way the top tray turned out. Everything is squished on the left. My thought is to extend the top tray all the way across and sacrifice some clearance for the mothers. So bottom line: can I keep my mom's happy with 14-15" clearance above water line? I need about 6 - 9 clones every cycle is the current plan. I will likely keep 4 mothers which means I wont be getting around to each mom for a while. Is 14" enough clearance?

Have you read this tutorial on bonsai moms? Very doable.

That bonsai tutorial rocks, no? I wish I had half the wisdom demonstrated there!
