Tent Grower Needs New Setup Ideas

Hello, I completed one grow with the following setup, but would like to hear your opinions as to what you think the best setup would be for me.

Setup is as follows:
-Homebox XS Tent (23.5"x23.5"x47.25")
-400w HPS Hydrofarm Remote Ballast
-4" air coolable reflector
(8"H X 21"W x 19-1/4"L)
-6" Valueline 435cfm fan
-4" Organic Air Charcoal Scrubber
-4" Valueline 171cfm fan for intake if needed
-10,000 BTU Portable A/C

Since my reflector takes up almost all the space inside the tent, I had my 435cfm fan with filter attached to the top placed directly above the tent (outside) and basically had the fan sucking air from inside the tent through the 4" opening on the left side across the reflector through ducting attached to the right side of the reflector, up and out through the exhaust port of the tent via the 435cfm fan. Temperatures would be at about 82-87 degrees with the ambient room temperature 70-75 degrees without passive intake flaps open or my portable a/c pushing air into the bottom intake port of the tent via the 171cfm fan.

1. Do you think there is a better way to run my setup?
2. I had a bit of a smell problem and plan on purchasing an ozone generator in addition to a timer control for it. Any other solutions?

For my next grow, the tent will be in a 6 x 6 closet room (no windows) with 1 door leading into the hallway and 1 door leading into my room which has one window. If need be, I could place the tent in my actual room, but would not want to because of the sound the fan makes.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
