1' away with a 400 is a little close...but you have a cooltube so you should be ok as long as the temp stays down

12" is pretty ideal for a 400w. As long as there are no signs of heat stress you can get it pretty close.

Here's my 600w 5-6" from the tops of my plants -

use the hand above the plants test
and keep your temps no more than 85
30 cm for air cooled HPS should be ok
