Yes. Using a plastic pipe reducer, fits nicely to the fan itself.

No such luck. Mine are just a simple screen with the velcro around to seal the cover. You'll need to fabricate some sort of shield/baffle to exclude light, if you'll be doing this in a well-lit room.

Edge of reflector works well.
I've got mine hung in the back corner, right @ the exhaust port. everything's hanging from the cross-members in the tent. (pic)

The tent came with a couple velcro straps. I didn't know what they were for, at the time, but I reckon they're for hangin' stuff. :i feel stupid:

The hydro store will probably have a couple different set ups to look at when you go. I hate going to the hydro shop. I always end up spending 10X what I'm planning.

Good luck.
EvilCartman Reviewed by EvilCartman on . Reflector question Hi, I'm getting ready for my first grow. It will be in a 4'x4'x6.5'H grow tent with a 600W HPS. I'd like to get a nice sunsoaker reflector or something, but I know with this set up I'm going to need some sort of air-cooling. I notice the cool-tube reflector, but the actual reflector kinda looks crappy. There's a similar one at HTG Supply that looks to have the same ventilation holes and has a bit better of a reflector. I think that's what I'll be going with. So, anyway, on to my Rating: 5
