Hey guys, my rubbermaid is up and running, but Im having trouble with temperature and pressure.. It was reaching about 101 degrees when I left it on

I think this may be because there is not enough pressure, and Air is seeping in thru the top of the Lid of the bottom rubbermaid
Do you guys have any ideas on what can be done to fix this? Maybe caulk or just duct tape?
There is a small fan that sits inside of it and points at the lights too

Dump the foil and get some mylar or paint the inside white if u want to glue them together i'm sure caulk would be fine or you could try weatherstripping. U might need another fan pulling air if that one is not enough. Looks neat man how many plants? How are you going to adjust light height?

Sorry man it was al crumbled up and looked like foil to me. Your problem is going to be height if you can't adjust how far the lamps are from the plants
