hey fdd i kept reading and hearing about swamp coolers,i just thought they were something like the old drink machines that had the drinks in cooled water,i know really stupid,but i just googled it and found was i way off.im loooking at putting in aircooled tubes,have them already,but i have adjust a wings and am really impressed with them,no hot spot and plants are about 10 inches beneath a 1000.i also here tubes have a hot spot.but any way my question is do you have a pic of your swamp cooler and also how much power does it take to run,and say your temps are 90 in a 10x10 room what would a swamp cooler lower it to roughly,maybe you have a better example then the one i described,thanks trapper.

no, not a light mover. a rail so i can slide all 3 of my lights over a couple inches as i spread the shelves apart. keep them "on center". :leaf:

where would i possibly put a light mover?

Not to be a downer but you are losing alot of light. You could really get alot more bud if you added some cheap plywood walls to the sides and put up mylar or reflective roof paint

it's just a big squirrel cage fan. it has a water pan in the bottom. it pumps water up and trickles it down straw like fibers that hold moisture. the fan pulls in air over the wet fibers cooling it. mine has a high and low speed with adjustable vents. i can run it with or without the water pump. it's hella cheaper than an A/C.
