Dust Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 what kind of fan you put as extraction? a real extractor shouldn't melt if everything is in good proportion.I would do cooltube extractor filter. but filter stop a little air flow so you gotta take an extractor a little bigger than neededGood luck man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE HANDYMAN Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Yep done all that but if u think pushing the air throo the filter not pulling will do it il try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE HANDYMAN Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 yes i will put up some pics if i can tho its hard to get in and do that as the space is so small that the tent is in,,ok so what u are saying is that id be better to have my filter set up with the strongest fan and the cooltube with the smaller one,i have to fans now well i will when the replacement comes,just now i have it set up as my filter top left attached to my cooltube with 0.5m of duct then more duct going out of the tent to the next room throo wall around 1m long with a small 45 degree bend, with this and fans inside the tent and flaps open im at 27.5c but its not really hot outside today,last night i had it up at 30.1 ,i can however take the cooltube off of this set up and use the filter on its own with the 340 m fan and the cooltube with the 220 fan, but would this have to be vented out of the room to,here is a pic of the set up now the filter at top right cooltube and out to fan a meter away,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underground Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 u use filter during veg? it should be filter->fan->colltube-> [or fan->filter->cooltube depending on what kind of filter u have] so hot air from cooltube will not destroy the fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
