A little help with lighting please

[McNuggettLuvsIt]

I have built a grow room that is 6ftx4ftx2ft with a drip system. I have already installed my fan and Carbon Filter setup. I am going to use a 400w hps/mh setup. I am wondering which is the best type of reflector to get(Cooltube, air coolable, or inline)? I am buying off of ebay and these are the options for reflectors.

Here is a list of specifics on the setup to give you a better Idea of what I need:

Fan: 90cfm/.5 sones
Carbon Filter: Homemade
4in holes on both sides of the bottom for air intake(inserted a 6in long 4in PVC into each hole to keep light from escaping)


Also, Should the 90cfm fan keep a 6ftx4ftx2ft box cool enough?

Thanks

Here is picture of fan

anything vented will work well, as long as air is being drawn over the bulb your a warm happy clam. (your only warm if you vent the exhaust into your house / room)

now with the dimensions you gave, your room is 48 Cubic feet, with a 90 Cubic Foot /Minute fan that should be fine, although after you have everything running you might decide differently.

If you have problems with flow try making a dedicated intake to the grow room. if you have already done that then try adding a booster fan to the intake. (200cfm range)

how warm you box is really depends on your intake temps.

I myself have an intake on a thermostat that draws air from outside when my room goes above 74 degrees.

Thanks for your input. One more question I have is about the reflective film. Do you think it 6ftx4ftx2ft grow closet is too small to use Reflectix? or should I use regular Mylar or Panda Film?

Guess that turned out to be 2 questions.....lol
