I increased my capacity by roughly 1-1 1/2 gallons so your 2 gallons should be plenty.
Taking a lit cigarette and usong the smoke trail to trace the air pattern is also an aid to find out if the air is flowing fast enough and in the right places, that he also showed me. The old timers always have some secrets because they've been there and done that before.

Sirrotica- Im curious on how you increased the capacity of your cooling system. Any pics? Thanks.
