I got my baby's 3.5 inches from the tube that's about 5 from the bulb with a 600 sunsystems halide. 8 inch 745 cfm draws air in this order..

Ac unit to 6 inch duct to a 8 inch duct to 8 inch cooltube to 745cfm fan to attic to carbon filter.

Average 76 F at the canopy.

I love it. Should be a pound yield from 600 watts.

It does sound quite nice, watch out for bleaching as I though it was bunk and had my SLH about 6" from 600W cooltube and during harvest I seen the result left by being to close.

Do you find you still get good use of the fan pushing through the filter, I too have the filter near the end of the exhaust and have been told to pull through the filter as opposed to pushing through it?

Been busy lol sorry here are some pics.

But. The ac works great Its not as much ducted,more pulling cold ass air from The vent. It then goes to The room and hits The 8 inch duct and The cooltube then duct and fan and duct and filter. Filter is huge and I have no pics sorry. But it gets good flow. Temps are low 80s on The glass of The cooltube. And The canopy sita about 76.

Heres pics. Weird lines are The hortilux mh's doing.

Tip of The tape measure is on The glass of The cooltube.



In this u see The closet and The 4 inch duct to The ac. Its behind The tv.



From cooltube to fan to attic



They love it..
