Inline Fan Recommendations

Hey all, so I just set up a 600W HPS that was graciously donated to me. I'm having an issue now with cooling my tent (it's only 2x4x5) so now I'm looking into purchasing an inline fan and grabbing some cheap dryer ducts from HD or something.

Anyone got any recommendations? I'll post a link to the one I've been eyeing. It's way stronger than what I 'need', but it has a speed control and I figure it's worth an extra $10 to throw at it if it means getting more out of it.

If it has a dimmer, you may want to dim to 400w. A 600 is going to be hard to cool inside a 2x4. Not saying it can't be done but you'll have some airflow noise!

Nah, I don't have a dimmer. Like I said, it was donated to me so I'm lucky to have it at all lol

It actually wasn't bad last night at all! Now that the temps are coming down, I was actually able to zip it up a lot. I kept probably 5 ft or so unzipped and propped the door open with a watering can to keep cool air going inside. I got a third fan in a window that's blowing cold air in from outside. Stayed right around 80 last night. I think for next year you're def right, but for now at least the hottest part of the year is behind us lol

Active air makes really good stuff I have a 8" and a 6" with carbons. Havent had any issues as of yet but I also filter the air going in as well as out.
