Fan/filter for 5'x5'x8' for 600w vert

HI... I want to run a 600w for vertical setup and am wondering what fan/filter i need for a dr150 5'x5'x8' tent?

If it will work well I want to use the CAN-FAN RS6 280cfm.

Do you guys think this fan will be sufficient? I WONT be running through a light. Just bare bulb with filter->fan->out tent with the filter/fan being at the top of the tent.

If my can-fan will work, what filter should I pair up with it? I have about 9 stinky plants

Thanks

The fan should work as long as the room that the tent will be in is cool. And that you don't dump all the hot air from your tent into the room your tent is in.

For a filter, find one that's rated slightly higher in CFM than your fan. Anything above a 300CFM filter should do fine. I use a 300CFM fan with a 600CFM filter with a 400w on a temp controlled fan speed controller for summer and winter running.

I get no smell problems at all and the filters last around 2 years because they aren't over worked.

IMO you should always go bigger on your fan and filter combo because you can always speed control a fan to lower its speed during colder days and increase speed for warmer days.

thanks for the reply man!!

I'm wanting to get the most quiet fan I can for sound, so I'm looking at the panasonic whisperline fans: http://www.panasonic.com/business/building-products/ventilation-systems/products/whisper-line.asp

Can you tell me which inline fan in the whisperline I should get to work with a Can 33? I believe a Can 33 is probably good for my size? So I want to pair that filter with a fan from above.

Can you help? Sorry I'm still a little confused on optimal fan/filter combos I know it's better to get a bigger fan and speed control it down, however the biggest 6" they have is the 340 CFM. the bigger ones are 8". I think the 340CFM will work well with a Can 33?

Sorry but I have no clue about those fans.

I have no idea how they would react with a flow restricting filter.

A carbon filter puts a restriction of 20% on a fan.

So that 340CFM would actual equate to around 280CFM.

And there is no way for me to know for sure if these whispers are merely glorified booster fans or not.



I use SYSTEMAIR RVK fans.



I use a 6" 300CFM and its pretty quiet even when on full speed.

Ebay 6 inch fan/tallboy cf for 140$ 440cfm ...its what i run

Well I know the Panasonic is a good solid fan so assuming is got accurate cfm numbers... Will it with for a can 33 or equivalent?

Thanks for the suggestion dannoo93... But I'm looking for add quiet as I can get, so I'm really just wanting to confirm 2 things:

1. Assuming the cfm and power numbers are right will the 340cfm fan work on a can33 or equivalent and is optimal?

2. That size fan/filter will work well for 9 stinky girls in a dr150 (5x5x tent?

Thanks again!!

You pull air threw the tall boy cg threw 6 inch ducting threw air cooled hood threw ducting to fan out ten with more ducting to 6 inch duct muffler...super quite 200$ total got 25ft of 6 inch ducting and cut it to portions i needed

I already have 2 regular 6" fans and both are loud. I need the most absolute quietest I can get (panasonic whisperline) because of my living situation.

Also, I'm doing vert, so it's much simplified from what you're doing. All i'm going to do is hang carbon filter with fan attached blowing exhaust up into attic....i just need to know which filter work best with the panasonic fan

Bump please............... Thanks............!

Does anyone know?

Maxfans are the quietest inlines I've come across. The smallest, too. the 6" has a built in speed controller. If that's too loud, you could always use a duct silencer or build an insulated fan box. There are a lot of tutorials for that on the site.
