I've enjoyed looking through what I've seen so far in this thread.
It's great to see someone truly enjoying not only the grow but the setup too, It's also nice when a grower puts a lot of time and effort into their product.
I especially like the three pc fans that will blow air up through your plants, clearly someone knows about convection.
Just a quick question though...Have you considered using the out take fan on it's own (seeing as it could completely control the temps of your chamber) and having a separate fan/ducting for the cool tube as they are originally intended?
In theory you could even use a small bathroom extractor fan for the cool tube. (although this is not ideal it'd do the trick)
Apart from that, Happy growing!
, I really like designing stuff and even when I think I've thought of everything and taken everything into account, BAM! something else comes to my mind and I find myself making alterations but thats ok I am glad you liked my 3 upward facing CPU fans, I had never seen it done before and one night whilst drinking some beer and having a 'tidy smoke' it occured to me that this was a really good idea and I should defo. do it, it gives O2 to the plants as well as reduced ammounts of CO2 and lifts the heat up and towards the cool-tubes in take ready for its exit of heat and fumes! good call eh ! I have been thinking of maybe running a 2nd fan too, I am still umm-ing and err-ing over it at the moment... I want to find out how good the cool air from my loft will counteract the heat .. and if then its still to warm a 2nd fan will defo. be added Oh I won the CCTV on E-Bay I'll add pic's soon, its well basic and in black and white BUT it does have infra red LEDs to allow monitoring at night or in low light conditions.. which is great news and a bargain at only 40 Quid Ill crack on now cos still got some pics to upload.. some more work on my cab and then later tonight a 'NERVANA', (NIRVANA - Tribute band) to go n see lol, so lots of stuff to do.. anyways keep watchin mate so SO much more still to come, Peace - STELTHY - STELTHY

At the bottom is my new shelf, then I bought another 6" 90 degree elbow to attach to my cool-tube after I have turned the tube around so the bulb is closest to the ducting, I'll lose the insulated ducting and replace with un-insulated the heat should be less of a problem this way cos the ducting will be run more or less completly straight (vertical) the only ducting bend is about 10"s worth at the top connecting to the thermo-in-line fan, I also decided to lose the bunjee's and use chrome chain, mainly because the chain will allow the tube to be lifted higher and the silver lol blends in lol, Na seriously the main reason is the bungee's are 2-3" in size and chain is chain so the cool-tube is capable of being mounted higher the key-fobs are to connect the cool-tube to the chain..and the connector is to join the elbow to the cooltube, before adding silver-tape etc. The black stuff at the back is 2m's of Black n White light proof pvc that I'll be using for my new curtain beneath my grow-shelf - STELTHY
I also want to add the elbow to the cool-tube and connect up the new ducting - STELTHY
Lol, I just enjoy getting good results
I just woke up and have an hour or so before the hydro store opens, I need to buy a few bits n pieces today, after I get the shelf finished, I want to sort out the cool-tube etc... I mean I have turned it around so the bulb is closest to the ducting now, but need to attach an elbow (for A+ air flow), and the new 6" un-insulated ducting.. not too sure what I'll tackle next but I am sure it'll come to me soon, prob the air pump etc... I bought new proffesh. airline tubing so that'll help with better air flow,Hows your grow coming along? I still have so much left to do on mine but at least its an interesting way to spend my spare time - STELTHY
