    water temp problems

    they make chillers but they are expensive and they use alot of electricity. the biggest problem i have seen with pre built hydro systems is that they dont have remote reservoirs. i built everything myself with stuff i bought from home depot to solve the problem you have.

    would this fan be powerful enough?

    if you get an in line fan you can put it as far away from grow as you want. if that's a house and you have an attic i would cut a hole in the closet ceiling and run duct through hole. then go in attic and hook up fan as far away as you ducting reaches.
