inline fans are crap mate

Here get this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350622443453?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

You`ll also want a filter go with atleast a 600mm long one but you may be better off splashing out on the next size up, buddy make good budget filters Rhino make the "best" filters

That fan is pretty good but if you have more cash RUCK make really good fans but they will cost over £100

That fan with a decent 6" carbon filter should pull more then enough air to keep your light cool hell it should be able to handle 2 600w hps`s in cool tubes easy as long as you have a filter with enough flow rate for it.

I`d go filter, cool tube then fan at the end but you could go cool tube, fan then filter but you filter won`t last as long as it won`t be protected by the pre filter but saying that keeping your filter outside the grow can keep it away from moister and heat both of these things can also shorten the life of your filter.

as long as the cfm on the fan higher than the cfm rating on the filter your good. if so you need a fan speed controller lol i didnt see the cfm rating on that link. if your fan is too powerful for the filter, the scent wont be filtered good and it will leak the smell through

Them 600mm 6" buddys are good for about 500cmf and that fan is almost 700cmf but you lose some over distance

I`d just use one mate I`d go filter then cool tube then fan so your air is sucked trough the filter then over the light and then out done

No need for 2 fans

you could get an in line and use it for intake but you don`t need 2 of them fans unless you want to give me one lol.

If you have the space buddy do a 1000mm filter that`s rated for something like 600 or 700 maybe even 900cmf that would be better but the 600mm one should last about 8 to 12 months with that fan on full blast that`s a guess based on using them in the past on a 6" ruck fan.
