Would it efficient to run a 400w cool tube in this tent with a carbon filter and fan? I have an open reflector right now .

I have a 4" inline without a filter and 2- 300 watt led lights in the tent and it gets tight late in veg. Does have plenty of openings for ducting, etc ... But you will loose at least 1 foot in actual tent height with lights and fan installed inside..

Hey Edwars O. Not sure. What type/sort of system are you putting together? 6V 12V? What are you needing to run, and for how long? What are your energy needs? I can't answer your question my friend without more info. I personally use the 400 watt system with another 100 watt panel. I match my batt bank so every 100 watt of solar for 100Ah of storage. Yes, it is over kill for just myself! I'm still in the learning processes if you will. The panels that come with this kit have zero issues with charging the batteries on cloudy days. I'm very happy with this basic system so far!!

Yes.. Buy regulator also. You will have to turn down the fan a bunch.. I use for my carbon cans. Find a way to filter air on intake of lights to keep dust down... Have fun

Yes i have one going into my tent with 8 in duct for frsh air. And one attached to my two 600watt hps hoods pulling hot air out. Great fans my have been running for over a year straight with no noises. Every 3 months pull apart and dust it. I recommend using a reducer on the end of ur hood thats sucking air. It creates higher flow rates cetered over your bulbs. Make sure to use ladies leggings over the reducer abd over your intake fan to keep dust out of the tent and off ur bulbs. Gl brotha hope i helped.. toke on

This is not a good fan for a maximum light source. You will need to look elsewhere. It is a really good looking modern fan with limited CFM airflow and medium lighting.

Yep, it is only a 200 watt heater... blows cool air in my opinion. .. we have two of them.... both the same... we are returning one... ones without fan are 10X the drying /heating power. Regret the purchase

Yes...it has an open reflector area but bulbs are enclosed in a tube for cooling purposes when running a fan thru it. Not ideal w out a fan tho.

Yes. If your Carbon Filter is rated same or higher CFM, you should have no problem. These are good workhorse fans. Mine runs 24 X 7 X 18 months just needs cleaning occasionally.

I would go bigger because you're room has almost 400 cubic feet. You want to turn ask the air in the room over at least once probably more per minute. Also the fan you are looking at is not strong enough for that filter let alone the one you really need. In that size of a room I would go much larger because I assume you are trying to cool lights with this set up as well and I don't think that this combo would be cable of pulling enough air over your bulb to keep anything bigger than a 400 w cool enough to not cause problems in the grow area. Speaking fun experience you need your fan to be rated significantly higher cfm than the filter to sustain enough airflow to keep the light cool as well. Be patient and purchase the right materials off the bat or you will end up purchasing new equipment that should have been bought the first time. Just my 2 cents. A lot of money can be wasted because you cheaped out up front. Save the money you need for high quality equipment and you will get much better results. That being said this filter is great for the amount of cubic feet that it is designed for. Just go with the 400 cfm range one and you will be happy aslong as your fan is not cheap and can pull through the filter as well as cool your light. Peace.

Hi- depending on the light you will use, most likely you'll need one intake and one exhaust fan, I use thisLEDwholesalers GYO2402 6-Inch 240 CFM Air Duct Inline Hydroponic Booster ... for the exhaust because it fits the cut-out in the tent. I just use a piddly little fan in front of a vent for intake.

This tent i use Its great. unfortunately It only has one 4" sleeve But you can run a 4" fan for intake or exhaust. I use this one In-Line Duct Air Booster Fan 4" Suncourt Inc.$32.26 With that said Its set up for 6" fans so, thats the main way to go. i run a 600 watt cool tube with two 6" Can Max Fan Mixed Flow Inline Fan, 6-Inch 334 Cubic Feet Per Minute.$137.18 There are others too, i use to use, these VenTech DF6 6" Duct Fan 240 CFM $25.95 all here on amazon Also, has an 8" sleeve, which i use to directly bring ac from the roof rent into the tent. I use this fan for that. Hydrofarm ACFB8 8-Inch In Line Booster Fan $48.95. Great air circulation. but you can just use the two 6" sleeves with a cool tube and be just fine. or any air cooled hood for that matter. good luck.

This fan is amazing. If you go to the CAN website you can find the specs. I used it to cool a 400W HPS light and circulate air in a 3 X 3 X 6 foot tent. It did this on the lowest speed with ease. I have the 6" Max Fan and it is first rate.

I have 2 of these fans in a 4x4 tent with a 600watt light. One is to exhaust heat the other brings in fresh air. Its pretty windy in there moves some serious air the 4" fan I had prior worked during the winter but not during summer heat. This actually allows enough air flow to keep the tents temperature around 70 with cool air coming in

yes you can, just be careful not to run the ballast at more than 50%, it is 600 watts,it has 3 settings.. 50% which equals 300 watts, 75% is 450 watts and 75% will burn out a 400 watt bulb and it limits you to just the lowest setting which is 300 watts, i would recommend a 600 watt bulb, you get to use all the settings on the ballast, and the 600 watt bulbs have the highest light output per watt than the 400 or 1000 watt, and you only get 300 watts out of the kit, and lets face it, 400W barely gets the job done, unless your grow is in a closet or tent, i run the igrow at 450W and have another 1000W kit that i run at 50% producing 950W, plus 4 fans and 2 air pumps running me about 80 to a 100 dollars extra on my electric bill, so if you can afford it, brighter is better, more watts.. more yield... but ya.. nice kit.. i like mine... and you can always upgrade bulbs at any time....

This or any other fan will work. I use this fan on a cool tube reflector on my 1000 watt hps. I have it plumbed bring air from outside the room threw the light and right back out of the room. so I guess what I am saying is you will need to be bringing in fresh air as you are exhausting the hot air. Room size makes a difference as well.

This runs on gas, so it releases heat as well as carbon monoxide. If someone sleeps with this, I can only assume you would need proper ventilation in the tent.

I would say yes if it is air cooled, it is bigger in person then it looks on this page. Although you will have heat issues if not properly vented with good air turn over. I use mine as a T5 starter tent.
