First off 6" cool tubes? Are they any good?

Second, say i was running 2x hps in cool tube 1x MH Raptor 6" would it be possible/practical to link them by duct and have 1 fan? then 1 fan running room for humidity.

i've heard that cool tubes aren't any good for horizontal set ups...never used one so i can't say for sure. but i don't know why you wouldn't be able to hook them all together if they are all 6"

Cool tubes are ok, but reflectors provide a more uniform lighting pattern. You can use 1 fan for three lights as long as its powerful enough. How many CFM?

Also, what do you mean by "1 fan running room for humidity" ?

440 CFM. I was planning on having my lights vented and then running another fan or 2 to have something to vent the flower room.

440 is a bit low for three lights, although you didn't mention the wattage?

The problem when exhausting a flower room is odor. Have you though about adding a carbon filter?
