i have a 600w in mine, stays about 4-8 degrees above ambient. i wouldnt' recommend getting a 600 unless u have to option to dim it down, with an electronic ballast. 400w should be perfect with good ventillation. may get a little warm in summer if u live somwhere stinkin hot. i think secret jardin recommends a 250 for this tent so anything extra is butter

Hey troops, You guys now have me concerned. I got a 600hps to mount in my dr80. It was super cheap on Craigslist. I COULDN'T pass it up. Do you think I will have problems? I have a 4 in fan and three little ones. I don't want to come home to a burned down apt!
