hi
I am in need of a *preferably silent* circulation fan suitable for an indoor grow tent so that I can breeze everywhere in the tent. I think I need an oscillating one, but not sure how I would secure that to function in my tent. my area is 8 sqft.

i also plan to upgrade the exhaust fan, and i need to cool about 350w. right now i like the s line vortex. if there are any comparables to this size and type of fan, I could totally use the information. thank you

I use an oscillating fan.
Name brand is Vornado. It has good blow and can be pointed up/down. It sits on things to raise and lower. But I keep it pretty low, near dirt level, anyhow. Then have it blow up through the plants. And use other small fans at canopy level. And us an inline fan for odor control.

i read a lot of great reviews on the Can Fan Max Pro 6 inch. this is the one I'm leaning towards for exhaust, the only other competitor is the Vortex S-Line 6 inch.

@jeepster1993 your setup looks great, but my area is 8 sqft and might need a slightly bigger fan.

@BullShark interesting. i will consider these. the major con being that it takes up space where I could put one more plant. a pro to this would be the height of the breeze and the oscillation.

I don't think you want a big fan. At least blowing on the plants.
A breeze is about it.

Air handling is different than air movement.
As far as a air handler, what I wanted was a negative air pressure fan. I got that with a 4 inch inline hooked to a carbon filter. The tent is in an air conditioned space, and a chiller on the storage drum for the flood/drain pots.

I'm struggling to mount my fans at the moment... I've got normal oscillating desk top fans and mounting them to poles is a bitch... Found some called monkey jarvin fans that mount straight to the pole that look great, although they are quite expensive.
