thats sweet! do you think i should blow a 250 cfm in through the semicold attic and vent outside or blow in the 20 degrees fahrenheit air outdoors and vent into the attic. 1000w mh and hps in a 5'x5'x8'.

Bumping this thread with a question for mord.
Where do you find them with 6"diameters?!

I was just commenting on the fact that he should use a 6" diam. if possible,

I dont know that there are 6" bake a rounds (or what ever they are called)

my cool tubes are 6" , and it seems like 4" may be harder to cool (less air volume), thats what promted me to post anyway.

I see, well I have a 400w MH (4.625" in diameter) I need to cool and was just curious where you got a 6" diameter tube to cool her. We can all get them off ebay, was just hopin for a better solution.

On another note Im gettin flamed on another thread so I have to deal with noobs.

haha this is kind of a noobish question but do you suck hot air out through the cool tube or blow cool air in. And what type of fan would you recommend for that

where does the ballast go though?

random.blurg · #28 (**permalink**) 11-16-2008, 06:04 AM

anybody know if you can use a glass cutter to cut the pyrex tube to size? somewhere i read pyrex would shatter if you tried to cut it, but i'm not sure if they meant with a glass cutter or not.
