I moved it to the outside of the grow room having it pump cold air in and that seems to work for now. My new problem though is it keeps throwing the breaker after 45 minutes or so worth of use. Theres a fluorescent light and 2 small fish tanks hooked up to the same 20 amp breaker and the AC uses 11 amps so I should be fine by a wide margin of error. Any thoughts?
