Getting Correct Fan(s) For Ventilation

I have 2x rooms that are 4'x4'x6.5' trying to exhaust both rooms with one fan and bring in fresh air with another fan. I will be purchasing a carbon filter once the fans and ducting are in place, however I don't know what kind of fans to purchase. At first I considered this $26 400 CFM inline fan (http://goo.gl/Y3j2na), but after reading some negative reviews I'm a bit weary and not entirely sure that it will work for both rooms and a carbon filter. Anyone have some input, suggestions, or fan recommendations? Ideally, I cannot pay more than $50-60 per fan.

Try a 6 inch with ball bearings - a 9 inch would be much better. When you can afford it - get a night/day thermostat that you plug the fan into. Having it run on temps really makes the ventilation easier. I use it for my exhaust.

Growing is expensive man. What happens when you get bugs? Id find the money and get a real fan. Two rooms with one fan means youll need a duct splitter and a quality inline like a can fan. Thats gonna cost like around 150 plus clamps and duct tape. If you dont have proper ventilation you risk higher chances of powdery mildew, mold, and an easy target for bugs to latch onto. My motto when building rooms or cabs is, do it right the first time because if you dont, you can screw everything up, and eventually youll have to buy the same equipment again. Just the right one instead of the cheap one. And now ya just paid twice for the same tool for the job. If it looks too good to be true then it probably is. Check out some reviews on youtube of the fans power before you buy them. Good luck.
