Want to run two 400 watts in a 77"x77"x77" tent to replace current setup

Right now I am running two 400 watts in my shower which is probably 60'' long 36'' wide and 100'' tall.

The space they are in now runs about 82-85 degrees and that is with 2 wall mount fans an intake and exhaust fans blowing 50 degree air from outside inside. And blowing all the hot air outside. Obviously I am running too much lighting in this small space. Before I covered everything in mylar the bathroom was 72-78 at most... Now its too damn hot.

So I wanted to purchase this http://www.amazon.com/Aviditi-PTU-6...TF8&qid=1357620535&sr=1-2&keywords=Hydro+tent which is a 77''x77''x77'' grow tent which says it has light hanger attachments, but does not specify how many. Hopefully it would have two? Anyways this seems easier because of the fact I can get in it clean it and get out without having to crawl under the lights. Also currently my lights are only screwed into drywall due to the fact that there were no beams anywhere near the spots I wanted to use. So at any moment these lights could just pop out of the drywall, luckily I have a backup string so the worst that would happen is the bulb breaks from the force of the drop.

Also I like to use my bathroom and when the lights are off I cant turn the lights on which ends up with me peeing on the floor or my feet due to it being pitch black in the bathroom. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night not knowing it and leave the light on... So this is really not working out and I need to get a grow tent.

Neither of the hoods are the expensive air cooling hoods, they are standard gull wing so I am not sure how hot that room with run.

Does anyone know if this will work better than my current set up (the grow link is below if you'd like to check it out)

Will I be able to fill all that space (77x77x77) with two 400 watts? And will the grow tent come with support beams in the correct places for my lights??? If anyone knows anything about these grow tents and if they allow for adding more lights please let me know! Will I be able to put my wall mount fans in the grow tent or do I have to buy new fans?

Thanks in advance!

Gotta get a cool tube. You can buy the dual cool tubes. And a centrifugal fan to pull the air thru the cool tube. Heat is going to be a big issue in the tent, unless your there to baby sit it when the lights come on by opening the door To it. Plus you gotta think about summer and running those temps.

during summer I will have my outdoor grow running so inside I would have nothing more than a 6-7 autos so I can have a continuous smoke, and they thrive better in upper 80-90s (from what I have seen).

So what I am being told is there is no way to keep that room cool without cool tubes? Even if I cut a 20" hole in the back and stick a 20" home made exhaust fan on there? By home made I mean I would be taking a floor fan sticking it on one side, cutting a hole and then securing the mylar walling to the fan, causing the fan to blow air out at a ridiculous rate? Almost like having 10 of those little exhaust fans? My room stays at around 60-70 degrees at all times.

Right now in my bathroom my air intake rate is 10x my air outtake rate. Which is why I am getting 84 degree temps throughout the day. So if I am in a grow tent (about the same size as my bathroom) how is this going to be any different? Especially when I can have a better exhaust rate?

Yah sure you could do it just with exhaust. You just need to move that much air Thur the grow space.
if your lights are on during the day. You might get a little cooler temps during the night with the lights on.

I will probably run them off during most of the day and on at night if my temps are too high, but you think I could do it with a 20" exhaust fan? I can even mount my other 16" fan to the wall put another hole in one side and connect the two, making a 16" intake with a 20" exhaust, or hopefully there will be away to set up the wall mount fan on the inside. I doubt it but I hope so.
