    Looking for a quiet 4" (100mm) fan. Any thoughts on the BLACK ORCHID Centri-flo?

    I'm looking for an extractor fan for my 2ft*4ft*6ft tent (60cm*120cm*180cm). There is already ot one in place which came with the tent kit but it's probabbly the cheapest item they could throw into the package and as the light etc weren't really up to the task, I'm thinking the fan could be improved. It draws through about 3-4ft of duct, the tent, another 6ft of duct and then a storage box drying chamber. The light has just been upgraded and I think I could do with a bit more airflow for a bit less noise (fan noise that is, I'm aware that a lot of the sound from stuff like this is actually the air moving through the ducting, tent etc). Looking around the BLACK ORCHID Centri-flo seems to do well in online reviews, but I know review sites can be biased if they can get referral money or are just straight up shills so I thought I'd ask you guys.

      I have this one in the exact same tent size. It’s not super quiet but it really moves the air.

            Sounds like a reasonable brand then, this one is supposed to be 47db

              I'll probably want one that is a bit quieter

                  I saw the cloudlines, they look absolutely amazing. 32db and moves air like a typhoon. That would be my number one choice if money was not a factor at all.
