I just started growing. Using ebb an flow. I like the know what is a good distance above plant now in veg state using T5 fluorescent 4x2

I was going to let someone who actually uses t5s to answer. I don't, but I do use 65w cfl which might be similar. 6" is where I would put it and let the plant decide from there.

yep 6-10 inches but watch her throughout the day as you may need to raise it a bit or not..
is a 4 tube or 1?
