I have a 3' x 5' x 7' tent I am interested in eventually running a 600w hps and 400w mh in a large dual lamp air cooled reflector.
Silence and stealth is a factor and I will need a good amount of airflow to cool the 2 lamps. So I am planning on using insulated duct, a duct silencer at the end of the run, and a diy sound box for the inline fan.
I can't decide if I should go with 8" or 6" ventilation though. I think with 8" I could run the fan at a lowerand quieter speed than a 6" and move the same amount of air. But that seems like way over kill for a tent.... however I don't want a 6" running on medium high howling like a blow dryer.
Also, can anyone recommend a dual lamp air cooled hood about 2' x 3'? The hydrofarm 8" raptor seems like the only choice pretty much.
