Cooling 6 x 600 watts hps with cooltubes

[SofaKingStupid]

How much cfm do I need to move through my cooltubes? The room stays at round 72f with the air on. I'm wanting to do a 2 stage Ventilation thing where I cool my lights independently of the room, but I need to figure out how much air to pull threw my cooltubes. Il be runnin 6 x 600watt hps in cooltubes.

Can't help ya much as I'm in the process also. I'm going to push 220cfm through 2 cooltubes, I wouldn't go less than that. Maybe someone will speak up saying that isn't enough.

Thanks Stoned! Yea I'm hoping that someone can help out. For a starting point thought,I'm gonna use your model. That comes out to round 1520 cfm threw 6 x 600watt hps cooltubes. Good lookin out Breth!

Maybe I didn't say it right. I'm using 1 Fantech 220 cfm. 6". I have a Y duct fitting. So each 600w cooltube will only have 110 cfm blowing through it. I'm sure this will be enough in my case. I don't really need 100% of the heat removed so I'll hook it up and go from there.

Thanks Stoned! That's bout what imma do too. Lotsa overkill, hook it up, and go from there. I still gotta do an 80 amp sub panel too.

I went with a 10" 1050 cfm max fan to cool my 4 1000's , I also have AC that set to 75 & so far so good .

Very nice Dansbuds! Yea my ceiling real low too. I usta use 5 gal bukkits but now I'm gonna go with the smallest bukkits I can recirculate threw. I'll have 4 bukkits around 2 x 600 watt vertical stacks for a total of 12 bukkits in the flower room.
