Which one works better? I need something to hook up to my hydrofarm air cooled hood and I'm using 1000w hps. Thanks

*waves HIGH!* depending upon the distances and # of turns/bends in your ducting...
use a squirrel cage on the output side....and IF you need it for the input, then an in line fan is what you want. Run pairs of 600's with a 465cfm squirrel cage on the output side (with about 10 feet of 4" duct) and about six foot of duct on the input. Have no need for the inline blower in my case. okies? *waves bye* Akiko

Say Smithsone; didn't you read the link from the other question you asked, it has all this info.

Yes I did read it but I was trying to get more info and opinions.

one 180cfm squirrel cage on my 400W Mh. Bolted directly to the ceiling and venting out of the top of the reflector. My closet never gets over 77*F or below 68*F. :smile:

PS- the shorter you can keep your ducts the less powerful of a fan you will need.

a inline is the way to go if you have alot of ducting, a carbon scrubber, have concern about elec use and/or noise.. blowers will get the job done for less $$ upfront..

Thanks Cal and Ice. My ducts will be fairly short, only about 2 feet. Those elicents are kind of expensive, I might go with a dayton
