Hey guys, this is some stuff i just bought. ------------------------------------------------------- Premium Activated Carbon, and Some Fish Tank Activated Carbon Filters(with carbon in them already) The Fish tank filters I will pour more Carbon into. And they also have metal bracers in there that can keep them strait, or I can remove them. ------------------------------------------------------- So I\'m going to be doing a rubbermaid grow(rubbermaids stacked on eachother), Will have a 120mm Fan Near the top of the top rubbermaid. Should I attach a duct to the fan and duct tape carbon filters in there(Will be easy because they have metal bracers on inside? And If so, can i just hang them in there? Or do they need to be clogged in there for it to be effective? ------------------------------------------------------ Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

This is not it, the fan will probably be on side, with light on top.. but this gives u the idea... a duct going out of it, and scrubber in there somehow

hey guys, check out what i was up to last night, hehe. They are very porous. good air flow -I found the brawny resuable wipes for only 6 for $1.75. -Each one can be folded into 2 9x9 inch pockets -And i got some velcro and some sewing stuff and went at it Also... check this out, -Make one 9x9 inch Carbon Scrubber cover the entire end of the duct. -To make it so all the carbon doesn\\\\\\\'t just sit at the bottom I will sew lines about 1/2 to 1 inch apart from eachother going up toward the velcro. -pour velcro in so that it all goes into separate sections. -then turn the scrubber to the side, so velcro is facing left or right -tape it on... should be plenty big for a 6 inch duct. Let me know what you guys think!
