What do you think?

Hello peeps,

i am making a design for a bearded dragon enclosure. Now i am writing a little list of what i need. Just wondered what you people think about it and could give some ideas if something is wrong or could be made better.
Here goes:
I want to house 2 female dragons in the enclosure.

*100 cm wide, 100 cm deep and 70 cm high. Is that big enough?
*There are goin to be glass sliding doors at the front
*Im will try to make a Rock wall on the background and each side will be 50 cm rock wall and 50 cm glass.
*Im thinking of installing 2 CPU vans, one that blows the air in the enclosure and one to get the air out again. I think that will be a good ventillation, dont you think?
*About the lights, i first was thinking of installing a UV-tube and some normal flood lights, but now i read something about Capture The Sun Mercury Vapor Bulbs, any one know if these are any good? The bulbs will go into a 10" deep dome reflector (with a porcelain socket)
* Im not sure about the plants now. Whats better and healthier for the dragon, live plants or fake plants?
*I will use a digital thermometer to measure the temps on the basking spot, warm side and the cool side and an anologe hydrometer.
*The lights will be on timers.
*Is a Underneath Heat Mat neccesary? And if so, can you plug it in a dimmer, so you can change the warmth of the mat?
*And last but not least: the substrate. In the beginning i will let the babies run around on paper towels and after that im about either sand (not calci) or bran, where alot of people are talkin about lately.
Well thats it for now, thanks for reading my post and even more thanks if you would be able to give some input.
