Venting A Cool Tube ?

The cheapest and most efficient way I have found is an inline duct fan you can pick up at a hardware store. Mount it right after the light. Be sure to run a intake to it or you will suck out all the humidity of the box. You could always cut a hole on the ducting if you need to remove some humidity in flower then tape it up again.

It depends, if you are going to use a carbon filter for odor control you will need a bigger fan ( blower )due to low static pressure, if you use an o3 generator you can use a smaller fan ( inline).

I see, You need to consider other factors such as fresh air for the plants, cooling the tube with inside air or outside air, exhausting the cool tube indoors or outdoors. Once you determine what you want then you can pick the fan with the correct cfm for your tube. In my particular setup I chose to use a passive air intake that both brings fresh air into my veg area then passing to my flower area through a light trap between the two, the air then passes to a square duct I made to house the ballast passes trhough the cool tube, through the in line fan and exits 12 ft away to the outside. All that accomplished with a single 250 cfm in line and an 03 generator that run continuously unless I'm gassing them. GL dude
