Well hello all

I was hoping to get some answers for few questions.
I am about to start my first grow room and i just want to make sure im starting out right. My room is 7ft long by 4.5ft wide by 6.5 tall, i plan to run two 4 foot flourescents until sprouts emerge and then for another week or so and transfer to hydroton in a rubbermaid set up. Do I need to soak my hydroton in ph balnced water before i use it and if so what should that ph be? once i transfer to hydroton I will have 1000watt metal Halide and One 400 watt hps for veg and then vice versa for flowering, is this to much light for this room size? I do have an inline 400 +fan going into the chimney. Also do you think it is necesary to line the outside of rubbermaid with mylar? I know these r probably noob questions but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
