Hey gang, about to order a sealed cooltube for my 400w lights to be used in a 4x4x6 tent. clearly I have to make sure that the room stays 70-80 degrees F so I was thinking of getting two inline duct fans 6" (from home depot) and putting them on either sides of the cool tube. One fan would be pulling in air from the next room and the other will pull the air out of the light into the room the tent it in. In the test, I have an fan blowing. With CFL's (12) it got to 82F when it was closed so now it is open.

Is there any other venting I should do once U get the 400w light or will this be enough? i can leave the tent open as this is in the basement in a corner but I rather it be closed.

Thanks in advance
