so the dimensions on this are 2ftx2ftx5.3ft. Most reflectors are around 22" and up. Added a few inches of ducting on both sides if I get an air cooled hood and it doesnt seem like it would fit. does anyone else run a similar sized tent? the only thing i can find that might work is a Cool Tubes 19". anyone have any recommendation? i will be using a 250hps with it.

thanks

Hey, I completed my first grow a few weeks ago using a Homebox XS tent which is 2x2x3.9ft using a 4" Hydrofarm Air Coolable Reflector which measures around 21"W x 19 1/4" long. I ran ducting from one side of the reflector, out through the outake port on the roof of the tent to a 465cfm fan directly above with a 4" carbon filter on top of the fan. My room ambient room temperature stayed around 70-75 and the maximum temperature the tent reached inside was 86 degrees. To combat the heat, I used a portable a/c and ran ducting from the a/c to a 171cfm fan to the intake port to keep temperatures down. Therefore, with a 250w hps, you should be fine with the temperatures provided your ambient room temperatures aren't too hot. I would go with a fan that has a higher cfm than 200.

This is the exact reflector I have: http://www.plantlightinghydroponics.com/hydrofarm-xtrasun-air-coolable-reflector-p-2378.html
This is the outtake fan: http://www.plantlightinghydroponics.com/valueline-inch-435-cfm-centrifugal-inline-fan-p-2260.html

Edit: When I said the maximum temperature my tent reached was 86 degrees, this was with both passive air flaps closed, and no fan intake.
