Ventilation question

I just bought a 6 inch Inline fan for a 5 x 5 ft tent and it's 7 ft high.

I would like to know if it is possible to run this fan on the lowest setting and if it will be adequate, because the higher setting is a tad too loud.

High setting - 2550 rpm @ 530 m3/h @ 300Pa
Low setting - 1850 rpm @ 410 m3/h @ 240Pa

Running a carbon filter with it and a 600w LED with a oscillating fan.

Thank you for your time. My math sucks.
 
So your space is 175 cubic feet. So we start with a requirement of 175CFM. 410m3/h = 241CFM. So essentially yes. But then we take into account reduced efficiency with the ducting and filter etc. and it's probably close to the limit.
 
Lots of variables. I used to run an 8" intake and 8" exhaust fan in my 6.5x6.5x7 tent and it worked with 570 watts of LED's, however I just added another 550 watts of LED light and it's now inadequate, had to open a bottom vent and add another 8" exhaust fan, that keeps me in the mid 80's on a warm day, high 70's most of the time. Only way to know for sure it like @EZCalyx said, a thermometer and checking every couple hours to get a baseline, then adjust as necessary. Do it on both warm and cool days. I don't think the low setting is gonna do it, but check and see.
