venting

[sleeze406]

can i run the ducting from my fan and filter to my hood and out my tent the fan would be sucking air through my filter then pushing everything through my reflector and out is it OK to push it through your reflector or dose it need to pull from it and is it OK to run it all in one line instead of exhaust and fan to pull heat separately

I would draw the heat away from the light setup using its own fan with the intake bringing in cooler air at one end and drawing warmer air out through the exhaust end where your fan should be.

so your saying i should run a fan to exhaust my heat and another one for my exhaust with my filter separately instead of them both exhausting off one fan

Yes, this way will be more effective and prolong the life of your ballast by giving cooler cleaner air.

I am of course assuming you are using some sort of ballast light (MH or HPS) with a hood and not CFLs, LEDs, or floro tubes.
