Hey all, I have setup a small tent with a 400 watt HPS and made a glass cool tube that goes over the bulb, this is connected via 4" ducting to a stanley blower fan and a carbon scrubber. I thought this would work a lot better but unfortunately it seems like a lot of heat is escaping through the glass, holding your hand under it is quite warm and ambient temps in the room can get up to 90
So here's my question, should I buy a bigger fan or a sealed hood to solve my problem. The fan I am currently using is around 265cfm I believe, however its been used for a while and undoubtedly lost some power. If I got say a 465cfm inline fan, do you think this would be a substantial amount of airflow to bring the temps down with the tube or do I need a sealed hood?
Thanks!
