GO TO HOME DEPOT!!!!!!!


8" inline can fan, $34, moves 210cfm by itself, get 2 and they can move 500cfm. Much better deals for cheaper grow ops. Here's the link.

are can-fans considered "in line"?

the 450 cfm or so can-fan i have sucks air through the central intake and blows it out the side through a 8" x 3" or so slot.

it looks and functions a lot less efficiently than my eclipse 800 cfm true inline fan.

using something like that is good for smaller grows yes,but that fan is designed to only do one thing, assist a larger inline duct fan when the runs are 2 long,so you would ad that to help boost your cfm.
the duck- no,it is a booster fan, your fan that has the 8x3 slot sounds like a squirrel cage fan or a blower, wich i mentioned a couple posts above this one as being not as effective as a good inline fan:thumbsup:

I use a 4" one of those homedepot ones for a 150watt HPS cool tube. It works nice, you can't even feel heat 1" from the bulb. Haven't used the bigger ones, but seems like it would work the same.
