FYI, you might want to think about an alternative setup for the scrubber. The Bulenath method sounds like a jet engine, even with the 50CFM whisperfit (0.3 sones). If you have at least twice the surface area of the frame he makes, you might be able to get away with dropping the sound level to something manageable.

It's certainly coming together, great job dude! I think you'll find you can get away with no cool tube when going vert with a 150 even in such a small area. Smell may become a concern, but you can grow low odor strains, or blow into a filter. You will get more light if you loose it too. Do a trial run with and without. If you can get away with it temp-wise, loose it. But that's my two cents. I ran a very similar set-up and had no heat issues after I took out the bake-a-round, so I took it out. One less thing to clean. I was cooling with an~80 c.f.m. PC fan in a box 18"x18"x24" I.D. with 8 two inch passive intakes, two on each wall, just above container height.

It'll come together dude, it just takes time:) How were the temps? Are you going to try without the cool tube? As far as packing them close to the light, I was 2-3" away from bare bulb. People on here sometimes clip the fans closest to the bulb to get them closer and open up more bud sites. I took a couple off, but I also rotated 1/4 turn every day. Have you seen catman's grows on here? Vintner? Hoosierdaddy? Propoline? It's good stuff dude! all 150w vert. check them out if you haven't already!
