Indoor Fan/filter setup question

[phunkyou]

I just got my tent and light in, along with my beans. I am about to purchase a 6" fan and a 6" filter from led wholesalers. What other parts do I need to connect everything to my light and exhaust and tent? I know I need ducting, but what else. I went to lowes and couldn't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

worm drive clips , maybe duct spigots depending how your going to mount it

Other than bungees or something else to hang everything, foil duct tape and clamps will come in handy to seal up all your connections. Do you have a cooltube or vented hood on your light? Without those details it's hard to say if you'll need any other sort of adapters or specialized ductwork.

I have a cool tube that is in a reflector with 6" vent.

Actually the vent is part of the tube, not the reflector.

So it sounds like you'll be running this setup:

filter > ducting > light > ducting > fan > ducting out of the tent

Lowe's has a variety of ducting, and I prefer to use the flexible foil type simply because it's lightweight and easily cut to size. One pack should be plenty for your needs. On the outbound side of the light you may want to get some insulated ducting or at least some of the insulation wrap to keep heat from seeping back into the tent. Insulated ducting also helps keep the noise down. You may end up needing to get some elbow adapters or other odds and ends, but you won't know that for sure until you see how it all fits in the tent. I made quite a few trips to the store before I got my tent set up exactly the way I wanted.
