Ey up pal I would move your extraction fan to the top of you room as heat rises And try get your ballast outside your room they put out quiet a bit of heat if that doesn’t work you will have to either get a bigger extraction fan or get a intake fan

Best to pull heat from above the lamp, hps? Can also look into cool tubes, will help a small space. I ran a 600 in a 3x3 corner cabinet years ago. Not sure where you are, try lowering the room temp the tent is in. Maybe a window ac? Turn the heat down? Now is the time for a lot of us to use winter to our advantage.

How many plants are you planning on doing in their ? 250 watt will do you a couple in their fine, but if you wanna run the 400 your gonna have to get a cool tube or a bigger extraction fan in my opinion pal what size fan are you running now ?

Personally I wouldn’t add a second extraction fan in my opinion you have 3 options get a cooltube that’s what I would do in that small of a space 2. Get a bigger extraction fan Orr 3. add a intake fan . Also i would move that standing fan you have lower down you have it blowing directly on the light it will be just blowing hot air around your room
