Can anyone tell me how much cfm or big of a duct fan is necessary to fully cool down the tube? i mean im growing in a 6(H)x4(w)x2(d) box (it will be less of actual plant space) is that too much light in that space? is it enough?? too little i mean i know all the statistics, but i want experienced answers. Would a 200-250 cfm fan cool it down enough?
 
Yeah that'd be fine dude just remember to make sure the air you bring in is cool. Get your ass on XBL later! :)

It will be like bringing a bazooka to a knive fight. I recently installed a 1000watt light, used 6" ducting, about 20 feet of it with the twists and turns, 200cfm axial fan from the big box stores under $30.00, they call them Duct Boosters. VV
 
thanks grow and vicious, ill probly get 2 of these bad boys off of ebay for like 37 bucks, 240 cfm, seeing as i cannot find anything worth the money with a stated cfm rating in any of my hardware stores round here, fuckin bitch ass service home depot, bitch ass. but yea thanks, and also would a second fan at 240 cfm be enough to exhaust my room?(w/ carbon scrubber attached of course), or could i use a shittier fan for that(6x4x2)

The carbon scrubber will need the good fan, commonly referred to as a Can fan. Its just what it sounds like a fan in a can. The fan is larger that the inlet and outlet, creating positve pressure for moving the air. For your lights line there is not much resistance, that is why you can use a smaller fan for that line.
