I cool 8 600's with 1 10" vortex...Remember it's not about a million cfm moving over each bulb, you just need a nice sealed setup that effectively moves the heated air out.

Freezerboy- thankyou for the very helpful link i have never see this
albert hofmann- great pics man, i would love to run several 600's but i cant afford it now. Once I get my 1000watters rollin i will probably upgrade to all 600's for efficiency.
thanks again guys

Cool my 2 1000's with 8" hoods and a 750cfm centrifugal. Works like a charm.

8" canfan ho { 750 cfm i think }
tee'd of the fan too 2 6"ducting and run a can .38 filter on one for the room and 2 cool tube's for the other... the duct on the bottem of the cool tube's is then ran to the veg room next to it and cool's it also ...... so 3k and a .38 can filter from 1 8" fan.....
in the summer i take the can filter off and run it to the back of my a/c & seal up the room..


i have sence taken out the flex ducting and ran 6" duct with a 90 deg angle
