i run a 600w in a 4x3x5 and its fine :) your space might be more suited for a 400w but if you're on top of your temps than i dont see why not.

if you're unsure of what your temps are gonna be like i'd opt for the 400w. just my opinion based on my experience :)

My temps are fine, just curious if people think I should be kicking a bigger space? Wasted light perhaps?

Do you run your cool tube ventilation separate or inline with your room exhaust? This is what i'm debating right now

i run inline with my room exhaust.. i dont use a carbon filter cause i dont have many guests, but the ones i do dont seem to mind ;)
i use a custom 6'' mesh so no dust and particles fly thru my hood.
a seperate exhaust is ideal if you're running co2 but if not its not necessary :)

I wonder how a wine bottle would work...

They don't make them anymore, but now and then you can find one on Ebay or at a garage sale or something. There used to be a Pyrex bread baking 'pan' that was a hollow glass tube almost the exact size of a standard CoolTube. It made the perfect DIY tube since it was Pyrex, and therefore resistant to very high temperatures and because it was virtually the exact size of a CoolTube, so it was almost like getting a kit CoolTube rather than an assembled one. There wasn't any 'make it fit, if I only had something a little smaller' stuff to go with it.

Pyrex cool tube was the inspiration for me. I saw a thread where guy did that and then I realised that I have to create my own cool tube. But I didn't want to mess with ebay and pay money them. I asked my dad how to cut the bottle and he told me this method. He told They've made candle holders for graveyards. I understood that this method would perfectly fit to make a tube by myself. Bottle was on the top of kitchen closet, because I didn't want to throw it away after I made it empty. Wool string I borrowed from sister who knits. And acetone I found at work. Tell me - why to go ebaying?

And it wouldn't be CRAZY cool tube anymore if I received it at post office in dark brown or yellow package.
