Default Suggestions for a Masdie setup?

There is a guy in our society that grows all sorts of plants in "cool tanks" that either started out as aquariums, or are built using foil-faced foam sheathing and duct tape. With a glass or plastic door to contain the humidity, and small muffin fans to keep air circulation, the environment is great. In all cases he used my LEDs, specifically to keep the heat down.

This material sounds quite interesting. . . Does he rely on an outside source to keep it cool inside, or is it basically just that heat-tight that it doesn't need to be cooled.

I'm in the planning stages of just such a set up Ray. I'm also very interested how these are kept cool. Would the society you mentioned be BCOS?
