so i just bought a .8x.8x1.6 tent http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/200608164496?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

and i bought a 8inch inline fan a while ago. i had plans on having a bigger tent but shit changed anyways is this a over kill im planning on getting a fan speed controller but still the fan was bigger then i thought in the 1st place.

I'm planning on growing two plants under a 400watt hps lst or scroging them still need to research in what will suit me better.

but what do you think will this work just just fine orrrr?

i guess in the future i could have that tent as a veg tent and get a bigger one once i have the space.

The only issue you'll probably have is a tent that size(didnt click on it) most likely won't have duct openings 8" and will need to be reduced. But as far as exhaust its most likely overkill but whatever. You can't harm anything by having too much exhaust, only your electric bill

With a controller you will be fine. Like Firsttime said, you may have to either reduce down for the venting in the tent or get a flange kit and make a new one. There's no such thing as too much ventilation, with the controller you will be able to dial it in just the way your setup needs it to be optimum.

You'll definitely need a controller. But it looks like the tent has a 10" port on it so it should hook up fine. You actually can have too much ventilation if your temps drop out of the range you want them in. It looks like you're in Australia so I don't think it might be as much an issue.

No Your Spot ON IMO.. your 1mx1m tent can Fit One 1000WATT LIGHT Which if you have any hopes of your plants living will need a Minimum 400 CFM Fan to cool.. your 8 fan youd be lucky if under no load put out 600CFM and half that under Load....

Can Fans are so inefficient and wasteful in thier design that you will see what a right decision you made...

No itss the little Sherrif Star, again I dont think you need a Fan Controller... Just a timer so it will turn on and off when it needs too.
