check it out. Seems okay. if you kept the res away from lights and used that might do well.

yeah i gatta 465 cage fan. i really want to use my hps, and if i stick with my original setup im afraid res temps will rise too much. dont have the money for the ice prob right now, but i can afford to make my own cooltube. i am using cfl right now for veg, but i want the most bud i can get out of a 2x2x4 cabinet. looking foward to pics of your ice probe setup. thanks
