Looking for ventilation advice

Im in the process of setting up my grow closet. This is my first attempt at an indoor grow.and Im using a 54" X 54" Hydro Hut. I am running a 1000W HID, Switchable HPS & MH. (I understand that 1000W may be overkill for my space but that is what I have and cant afford to invest in another light). What is the best way to vent this baby? This is how I was gonna set it up.





Are these fans too strong? Should I vent the light seperately and then get weaker inlet and exhaust fans?Any advice greatly appreciated.

I've never heard of fans being overly strong but I know my 270 cfm feels like it could take off like a helicopter, so your 600's must be just off the wall crazy. lol If I could have a 600, I think my temperature control problems would be over.

Ok . Well I didnt get any advice (except for Gwarrior)so I went ahead and bought two fans, but I think Im gonna take one back. I set up the exhaust fan that vents outside and the inlet is open with no fan(Im thinkin about running duct from the inlet to either outside or next to the ac vent. Any suggestions there? probably not.:-| Oh well. Ill just talk to myself.

I think thats gonna be good enough. The temp is holding at about 78 degrees.

Thanks for the reply GWarrior.
