Need help with a 5x5 1000w setup

[PhishHead]

Hey everyone!
I'm looking at setting up a 5x5 coco tent.

I was looking at getting the DR150 or the Gorilla 5x5.

I was looking at getting a Gavita 1000w DE, but height limitations has me second guessing it.

So here is what I need some help with.
If I go with the DR150 I'm limited to a 80" max; with the light in there, even less. With the Gorilla I could max the height to my ceiling which is 8ft.

Should I go with the DR150 and a different light, or go with the Gorilla and the Gavita?

Ventilation:
8" with speed controller exhausting
6" with speed controller on the Carbon Filter
Passive intakes

Going to Sog or Scrog depending on genetics I have access to.

Input would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Keep it simple. Go with the Secret Jardin tent, 6" fan/filter with speed controller, and a large air-cooled reflector.

YUP!
A Raptor, Magnum XXl or Dominator XXl would light up a 5x5 SJ quite nicely.

I have a DR150 with a 600W digital, 6" fan with speed control for exhaust, blowing through a can66 and it works great. Im not sure I understand your separate fans for filter and exhaust. You should just put the 8" on the filter and exhaust with that and use the 6" for intake maybe? The 8" will have no issues cooling 1- 1000W, hell I dont think the 6" would either.

I would also consider using a vertical bulb and saving the money you would spend on the reflector. It takes a bit of getting used to but a vert scrog can be a real thing of beauty. I dont think the Gavitas can be hung vertically though.

I was thinking have the 8" with a speed controller on it exhausting. Using the speed controller to run it at a lower power to cut down on sound.

Then using the 6" sitting on the carbon filter to clear smell.

I figured using the 8" on the carbon filter as an exhaust would deplete the carbon filter quickly and wouldn't keep the room as cool.

What are your thoughts?
