26C is ideal for any grow room, unless you have a sealed and fed CO2 room, in which case ~29C is optimal. If you have a good fan and hood, you can definitely use a 400w HPS in that tent.

Hey mate, I have a 1mx1mx2m tent with a 400w in and temps range from 25-27c, how Tall is your tent? To keep my temps in check I have 2 fans blowing across my light to move the hot air, you could get one with a cool tube which would be even better at keeping temps down. Hope this helps a little.

You're going to have to move quite a bit of air through the tent with an inline fan to keep the temps below 85F while using the 400w.

Temps should be between 70F-85F.

Fresh, like from the attic, a window, another room. Re-circulating air is not beneficial to plants as it restricts CO2 intake.
