Hi; im wanting to build myself a colltube as i think the cabinet i will be growing in will become far too hot, H(90)D(40)W(65); using a 250HPS.

I want to use some sorte of piped glass attached to the CF which is being sucked through by a 4" fan

I have been reading on DIY cooltubes; learned you need a E40 fitting. Was wondering if you can buy something like this but for hps.

you can buy a 6" cooltube for 40-50 quid in the uk, saves all the hassle. it will probably cost you 30 quid to make one, and the bought one wont look ruff! lol
