Looks great man, how many watts are you running with those 2 lights? Air cooled lights can be dropped closer to canopy imo unless their 1k's... I'd love to here some details of the room if you're willing to post

Looks good, lots of bends in your ducting, if things get too hot you may want to straighten out the runs. I would personally put a solid elbow on the filter to fan connection, then you will get rid of 3 bends that equal almost 360 degrees, with just a single 90.
3 lights right? kind of hard to tell, how big are they?

Yeah they are 1000s. 
And I did drop the one that is over the six star cluster.

The bends are only there becuse I orignally had the filter in another corner. Moved it becuse it was blocking the door. They are 1000 watt hps. Gonna fix it asap. Thanks for the advise.

No joke, i am hanging my second tomorrow and i am really nervous. Hell i put in a 30 amp 240v service for less than 2500 watts...... probably overkill but maybe one day i will get a third.

Have you fired all three lights at once for 12 hours yet? How r your temps? I am pulling more air than that through a single 1000 watt, i believe i could do another 1000, but i don't know about 2.

Nice. I'm running 2600W in my flower room. I use a 748 cfm 8 inch to cool my lights. But I use out side air as intake and exoust outside as well. And a 600 cfm filter to a 440 cfm fan exiting the room. And a 220 6 inch fan bring in fresh air. And I had heat issues at first. Added a A/C and worked good. But RH droped so added a swamp cooler. Didn't have to run A/C all the time and RH was at 50% the whole grow.
Just watch your temps all is good. I also can keep my lights 16-18 inchs off plants.
