Tom's 400 watt Growing Odyssey

i currently have a 400w hps that i bought from htg, and i was considering of buying the euro reflector. how will that compare to the cool tube you have right now? i want to buy a cool tube but i think i would have to do some wire configuration and i think it costs more too. you think it would be good if i get the euro reflector for my current 400w hps? i'm considering this due to a heat issue i have. would this work if i were to add an exhaust fan to the euro reflector. i have the same exhaust fan as you do (that green one). thanks in advance.

Any sealed reflector should stay cool if properly ventilated. I personally dont like cool tubes unless you are doing vertical. They have the lowest reflection rate of almost anf refector. If size is a concern, you can get a SuperSun II which is fairly small and reflects light with the best of them and if you shop around, you can find them for just over $100. I got mine for $110 and have great results with them. Here's a link for refrence.
