It's time to order my stuff for my first bloom room. I have read the FAQ section here, it says that I need to move the air 2-3 times per minute. I have a 600 cubic foot room, so I need 1200 cfm to move the air twice in a minute. The largest fan I can find is a 12" Vortex which moves 1140cfm, just shy of the 1200 I am needing. Do you experts think that would work, or should I look at using a couple 8" fans which would give me 1494 cfm in total. I do plan to use a carbon filter in conjunction with my exhaust fan, if I do a couple 8" fans will I need 2 carbon filters? I want to do it right the first time round but also want to keep things simplistic, the less noise makers in the room the better so I would lean to the 12" vortex if that's enough? Other info which may be useful, not using air cooled hoods but will be using AC and DH.

TIA.:joint:

Dont forget to account for the bends in ductwork, as it greatly reduces the cfms
