And the only other thing would be to make sure it is exhausting into another room or out a window to prevent heat build up, but it sounds like you have that covered

And add some C02 when you get a chance, go on CL and find a bottle or get one from a Fish Tank store that specializes in plants and what not, that's where I go mine and have been running the same bottle for at least a year or so. It makes a HUGE difference in plant growth especially if you run higher temps, you can double you plants size and yield

Hi dude, I already have co2 in there I bought a JBL micro setup with regulater for 120 quid, but I cant turn my fans off or the room will cook from the 600s heat output, I used co2 on my last grow and your right is does make a huge difference :) I'll find a way....... - STELTHY

Hey buddy, lemme give it you straight from a person who eneded up using about 4 different forms of sound deadening. Everything they have on the market will not make a centrifigul, or even inline fan noise dissapear. Inside my fan box, i used Green Glue in between 3/4 inch thick plywood sandwiches, Mass Loaded Vinyl on the oustide of that, and then accoustic foam in all of the empty cavity, and albeit my fan is a bit quieter, its not nearly noticable for the amount of skrill i dropped into it.

My one suggestion for you would be a variac instead. Its basically a voltage regulator you can use as a fan speed controller that wont make it hum.

:peace:out.

Ok so the spraying's not perfect but that's ok cos I need to get some new tubs as I accidently broke the other one earlier so Ill use this one for practice, the lids however are ni on perfect so that's good, I'll do the new tubs tommoz, then I will adjust my shelf to take the bigger res. tubs and re-cover it so watch this space, its going to be a busy week!! :) - STELTHY

While using the speed control is good, I have one but he is looking to keep it cool so you need as much air flow as possible

With a bit of luck I should be picking up some new res. tubs and some more spray paint today :) and depending on my bank statement I may decide to buy either a 250 or 400 LUMATEK ballast to put into the equation decisions ..... :) and then I will cut my new shelf holes for my larger 10l res. tubs and finaly re-cover my grow shelf that should keep me busy for most of today.. wish me luck :) - STELTHY

THIS IS WHAT I MANAGED TO BUY TODAY.... a 400W PRE-USED LUMATEK ballast from the hydro shop a real bargain at only 120 quid :) I got 2 new res. tubs to spray propperly :) a new can of black super gloss spray, the postman delivered my in-ducting mini turbo in-let fan, ...no need for big in-line intake fan now :) - much more stealthy :) I'll add close-ups of both the new duct-fan and the new 400w ballast, I got a 6" connector pipe for the ducting to a huge 6" Odor Sock up in my loft and a 6" Jubalee clip for ease of access to my bulbs in the cool-tube behind the 2ND Odor Sock in the grow cupboard (better than silver tape, this section only) :) - STELTHY

@ a snip.. from my hydro store an x-show model... 70 quid off same cost as a 250w, a 400 for only 120 Quid..unmissable bargain :.. I'll get the 250 sometime next week and I am all set. I am not going to bother with the 1000 cos I doubt I'll ever get to use it and I ve seen some crazy mad results with a 600! now I can alternate ballasts depending on outside temps my unit can pull in to cool the light in the cool-tube - STELTHY

My newest fan actually fits inside the 6" insuluted ducting from the Odor sock in my loft to my in take on the side of my grow cupboard :) the only thing really to disguise at the end of the day will be the inlet ducting, I like the idea of curtains that someone mentioned, we'll see how this goes later :) - STELTHY

I've started to spray my new res. tubs but due to having to spray multiple coats of paint I still have more to do on them today, so I'll just add pics when they're finished...and even though I have painted the lids black I still plan on covering them with silver tape A) to increase reflectivity and B) extra protection from light reaching the root enviroment :) - STELTHY

Hi Kushissweet :) I bought it from my local hydro-store it came in by accident and I got it cheap.........er than rrp. I am sure you'll find one if you type in the name " Prima Klima" in google or maybe E-Bay or summink, yeah this fan is the tits! however when on full power its pretty loud! for me thats ok though cos I will be boxing in the top section of my stealth cupboard and either carpeting it or using sound deadening mat :) performance wise its quality, I know the Systemair RVK or RBK ones lol, have a temp control but no stat. and they do run really quietly but for performance this one is 2nd to none at the moment :) - STELTHY

Cheer's for the rep man! I've been busy spraying my res. tubs today 1 of them is done I covered the lid with silver-tape and filled up the tub litre by litre and marked the tub as I went with a marker pen for future reference, all thats left to do is the other tub tommoz and drill in some air holes in coresponding places, then I need to run air tubing lower into these tubs - connect up the bubble plates and glue gun in place then its time to re-mod my grow shelf to accomodate the new modded res. tubs phew!.... I will upload pics soon, although my PC died last night and my lap-top is not as easy to operate :) - STELTHY
