yes mate i run a 600w hps in a cooltube using only 1 fan/filter to cool my lamp and vent my room, was told it wouldnt work, but it does, temps rarely go above 26 degrees c, and when i zip myself into the tent i can feel plenty of fresh cool air being drawn in from the passive intakes. As long as you keep yr ductwork as short as possible, keep any bends or turns in the duct minimal. and use insulated/sound proof/sonoduct ducting after the cooltube because standard duct can get quite warm from the heat being blown thru the tube and without the insulated duct it will heat yr room further. Heres my c/filter/fan/cooltube setup.
