ROTFLMAO :lol:

That the only way I can vent my canopy with out heating up the whole house. The canopy will be compleatly enclosed so I needed a way to vent the hot air out. So I built a manifold.:D

At first 2 - 400's and 1 -250. In about a year or so I hope to be running 4 or 5 400's.

It seems to be coming along pretty nicely, although, :)
what was that link to the previous photos - I'm having trouble again picturing it the way it's supposed to look once complete.

very cool. i also have venting ducts installed above my 400W lighting. it basically pulls hot air out of my canopy. i had fans in the canopy at first but it was a bit noisy. i decided to run the duct up to the attick then had the opening mounted to the outside wall. i then installed an attick fan to assist in pulling the hot air out. since hot air naturally rises, this system works very well. i now have the attick fan on a thermostat so it only runs when needed.
