I agree with negative37dbs, and that hepa filter will not filter the smell from the room. You are bypassing your carbon filter.
I would really recommend to change your configuration. Your fans will not do much more than 200 m3/h, and in the current configuration much less. One of those fans is enough to cool all three plasma lamps: Just connect the three tubes in series and blow through them. 50 m3/h is more than enough to cool a plasma lamp so 200 m3/h should do the job even with losses. Keep the ducting 150 directly from the fan to make the system as quiet as possible. Use air from outside the room and blow air also directly out of the room.
Then hang your filter direct in front of the extraction fan. The hepa filter, if that's behind you carbon filter then remove it. You should have on the intake fan to prevent stuff coming in. 200 m3/h extraction (120 - 140 effective) should be more than enough for the low heat generation from the plasma lamps, but not enough to add any HID lamp. For that I would go to 300-500 m3/h. Still the small fan would be enough for the AC leps.
Given the low amount of red in this combo I would recommend to add red double spectrum LED already in veg.
Do you have any particular LED panels in mind Whazzup?
The small fans does 240m³/h and the larger one 580m³/h at full power but I have set it to 430m³/h due to noise level and the fact that I can't bring more air in than out.
I am aware that this is still a problem when looking at the setup since 1 + 1 does not equal 2, but still 1.
Only difference is, as you mentioned earlier, the loss of pressure.
First and foremost (again) I do not have problems with the temperature (at the moment) so cooling the room is not something that I have a huge interest in (at the moment)!
Secondly, there is not enough room to connect all three LEP lamps to a fan without using bends.
Please draw a sketch if you have the time!
Maybe it would be possible to add a HPS lamp if I can connect the powerful intake fan to a cooltube and then directly out of the room!
