Need a little help with a new cage

Hi I am making a new cage for my chameleon out of an old tv cabinet. I am working on the sanding now and still need to get some things before putting everything together. It is 36in Wide by 29in Long and 22in Deep on the inside.
I am going to get a Mist King system but I don't know which one I should go with?
The starter system with the plus pack wich comes with two misting nozzles or get the ultimate value kit wich comes with three nozzles?

Now for lighting I was thinking about getting the exo terra dual top canopy 24in would that be enough or will he need more heating?

Also I'm going to put two ficus trees in it and I wanted to put some kind of flower in between the trees. I was thinking about bachelor's button, passion flower, or camellia flower. If I put the flower in it will I need a grow light to go along with all the other lights?


Thank you for your help Matt
 
I use the Starter and it works great. If you have the money to burn, you could defiantly go with the Ultimate kit.
As far as Lighting, Im not sure what kinda of canopy your talking about. you need a form of UVB, a grow light (not entirely necessary but your plants will thrive), then some sort of heat such as a heat emitter or a regular house hold bulb that provides enough heat for a basking area. Generally the UVB tubes don't produce much if any heat
 
Here is a pic of it so far, bad pic from my iPad.

Looks cool, I'm guessing the cage is for a panther its a good Juvinille cage but remember The adults use a 2x2x4 so don't waste too much money on this cage that you wont be able to use on the next bigger one.
