Frag Tank in Grow Tent???

sayitfast · Dec 25, 2017

I'm thinking of expanding my frag tank, however my wife has ruled out anything else in the house. I'm thinking of using one bay of our 3 car garage to install a 5 x 9 grow tent and put the frag tank and accessories inside. I live in Arizona so in the summer I will need to install a small AC unit but the tent comes with vents holes. Gorilla Grow Tent

Any thoughts? Anyone tried this before.

Update: I did it see video below in the thread or use this link.

What would be the purpose of the tent? To keep the tank protected? Also, how much does it cool off at night? It’s a very interesting idea!

Ya... the main reason for the tent is the area I live in is crazy dusty and the tent will keep all of that out of the tank. I'm surrounded by farmland and new construction. Also I have a small AC unit I can duct to the tent for the summer... that way I don't have to depend solely on a chiller or heater. In the summer here it does cool off at night but its still super hot in the summer.

I went ahead and bought the tent and a T5 fixture today from local Hydroponics store.
