    newbie: should an exhaust fan stay on 24hrs?

    thanks for all the replies guy, my tent is a GL80 with three 5" intakes. dimensions are 2.7x2.7x5.11. i only planned on using one intake although i can use 2 if need be. also the lights will be powered on at 4pm and will poweroff at 10am the next day for veg.

    whats wrong with my new ballast?

    i dont hear any noise, nor does the ballast get hot at all. this is with and without the reflector plugged in. heres a stupid question, how do i tell if my electricity is 120 or 240? i picked up a 120 and live in the states.

    whats wrong with my new ballast?

    what do you mean by "turn it on". there is no on/off switch on this thing. just a white button labeled "input" and its fully depressed in and wont come out. not sure what that means. this is confusing to me because looking at other lumatek ballast switches there is an on/off switch but mine has...

    do i need a cooltube in my situation?

    i think i may have found my solution: http://www.horticulturesource.com/product_info.php?products_id=625 21" long, and both duct holes are NOT at the ends of the reflector but in them saving space.
