I'm wanting to put a 400w HPS in a 2x2x5.25 tent like this one:

So my question is how to beat the heat? I'll be using this light with air cooled reflector:

What fan do I need for exhaust? And carbon filter? I was thinking these..

I grow with a similar tent, i posted a link to it below, its a lot cheaper off of amazon. When growing in a tent that size, it is almost mandatory that you have an air cooled hood. I had a bat wing reflector in my tent at first and had major heat issues. I bought an air cooled hood and some inline exhaust fans and now my temps are great. I also run a 400 watt MH/HPS bulb in my tent, and it puts out plenty of light for the tent. My suggestions would to get a bigger tent, I am currently looking at getting a bigger tent for my set up due to the limitations that this tent has.
