what the hell do you need a 6 inch fan in that size space for? I have 54' square that I run a 4" 200cfm fan and 4" mntn air filter. Works like a charm with hid.

I guess I was a sucka and bought it to vent the heat out of my tent.

only 20 bucks.
Only 20 bucks? Is it one of these?



Cause if it is, these wont pull through a carbon filter. They're not rated to pull or push through any resistance.

Of course, if it was one of the other types of inline duct fans, one of these...



Then 20 bucks is a STELLAR deal!

Right now I am using just the wooden 2x3x4. Once I get a hps I will flower in there.
Kinetic has a good point....but we have to try to make it wk with what you already have because we know your on a budget k. So if that fan is to big for the space....which I think it is....rather then to down size the fan and having to buy a lower CFM fan.....you can pick up a variable speed controller to slow down the fan you currently have...it just plugs into your plug and your fan plugs into it...and it has three settings....high, med and low...that controller will cost a fraction of what another fan will and the up side of that is when you go to your HPS set up....you will need that larger fan because your heat is gonna increase 10 fold.....HPS run hot....cfl's dont put out much heat so your managing fine now.....

No it is just the crappy aluminum inline fan. Fuck it.. I'm going to make an ONA bucket tomorrow.

I am not currently using the 6 inch fan. I have a 50cfm bath fan on top of my cab atm.

Yeah a crappy 6 inch duct booster fan wont work with a carbon filter. I have one too, works great to exhaust a small cab if you're not pulling through a filter. But they have some pretty inexpensive 4" inline fans on ebay...I bought one for 49 bucks shipped, and it works great and is very quiet(with the addition of insulated ducting, also pretty inexpensive).

Ya....those little in line fans on top dont do a whole lot.........you need a good Vortec like the ones on bottom to pull through a carbon filter and that CFM number keeps dropping as you apply restriction to the run....90' turns, length of run ETC....all drop the CFM number......in HPS set ups...over sizing fans is a good idea.....because you can always control fan speed if its to high but there aint shit you can do when its under sized...except go out and spend more money for a larger fan!!!

From a cost perspective....the ONA bucket might be the way to go.....I have never used one but this I can say....if Fig says it wks well....then it wks well.....so thats another option as well....I wll follow thru on getting you that info on the filter because it may be just a matter of time before you have to install one.
