I am a HVAC guy. Are you switching lights (only 8k on at a time)? If not you won't have enough a/c. You need twice as much if you run all 16k at once. Figure 4000-4500 btus/hr for every 1k of lights if room is insulated and sealed well. I think you need 2 units.
Have you ran a nutramist system for very long? JK
I would not trust my tomato plants with a danner pump.
No switching, they'll all be on at the same time...shoot i was concerned that I'd need a 4 or a 5ton unit. I did find a new 5ton on craigslist ($1000) but that's without an air handler or duct work...
I see your installing water cooled lights and I was wondering what your conclusion was with them. They sound great and I initially thought about going with them for my setup. However, many of the people here gave me the impression that the amount of money and lumen loss was not worth it.
Do you have them yet and how do they seem to work?
Also, it seems to me that if you do have the water cooled lights you would not need 4500 btu's per light but only 3000 btu's. Don't take my word for it, but as the Fresca Sol guys.
Anyway, your setup looks great. I wish I could have one like that. Do you have any pic's yet?
