so here it is. area 12x10 2 feet for isle, 4 600 digital hps, quality 4 side reflectors, hydro bucket set up, 5 buckets per light, my question is how big of ex fan with scrubber, and how big intake fan? CFM's?? also how large of a res would i need for the 20 5 gallon buckets?
 
that much in one room I woulkd get a 6" inline fan with a scrubber on the intake end,depending on how well your room is sealed off. 100 gallons for a full res. but keeping 2-3 gallons at all times in your bucket would make it around a 55gallon drum with alot of plumbing

thanks for the quick response.
i have a 309cfm axc inline 6". and it's barely enough to ex my 4x8x5 homemade grow box. It should be suffient as an intake, but how many cfms will i need to ex my 12x10x8 room? and what charcole filter do i need?

you intake fan should be equal to exhaust fan so you dont create neg or poitive pressure. how are you cooling the room? how are you cooling lights?
