well i been researching on fans for my 600watts hps light. well this is the way the fans going to suck air, from a carbon filter to the air cooled reflector and then trough the fan

this is the fan im planing to get

vk 150mm (6") fan, the hydro shop guy says its 520 cfm

i dont want any heat issues whats so ever becouse i cant be asked spending more money later for another fan.

so do you boys think this fan will do the top job?

how much more is the next biggest fan? does thee shop take returns? if they do, then get the one which you think will do the job and if it does not, then bring it back and get the bigger one.

It would all depend on the size of the grow room (total volume)- unless you have a big grow room, the 520 should do fine. General guidelines are replacing the air in the room every 1-5 minutes, since you are using a 600 W you wouldn't want to go any higher that once every 3 minutes, which will give you a total room volume of 1500 square feet. If the volume of the room is less than 1500 square feet, you will be more than fine.

Total vlome of 150 cubic feet, if your fan is unobstructed you will cycle the air over 3 times per minute, and that will be more than enough to keep the temps down. You might wanna hook the fan up to determine how loud it is- a lot of times the high cfm fans can get kinda loud, and it will be better to have worked that out before you plug it up. Hope that helps, and good luck with the grow.
