Can it be done with just fans? or am i going to have to buy a a new lighting system with a cooltube or a air cooled system, even then tho i all rdy spent money on this 600 watt system.

I could always downgrade my light bulb to a 400 watt if need be.

ya if u had a window or something and it wasnt to boxed in u could get away w/ some cheap fans..but nah a trill system has an air cooled hood and a exhaust fan hooked to it..and at least a passive intake..

Damn bro thats a BUNCH of light for that small tent. Go with the 400 you'll have to keep the 600 to far away and might run out of room.

If i used this with my 600 watt Metal Halide Conversion bulb it should work right my ballast is for HPS and up to 600 watts
