o sorry about that bro i deleated them ill re take pics after shops torn down
I have had no luck with that filter paper at all. It doesn't do NEARLY as good as the activated carbon pellets, not even close. I am growing Snow White which is on the low end of the odor spectrum and even using 3-4 sheets of that stuff and a Febreeze carbon plugin, I could still smell it. I am glad it works for you though, it is much easier just not as effective in my experience. Once I made a DIY with panyhose, netpots and activated carbon, zero smell. Gone. Has been working great for 2 months too.
 
i was in homes depot the other day and was looking at some t8 flourests and some security lights and the guy in the light department said alot of young kids come in and buy those things all the time to grow ther drugs i was doing the same thing lol .......has any one made a 5 gallon tout size carbon filter??????? my pad smells like grapes
 
So i made a simple and VERY effective filter system.3 inch plastic T fitting the 2 sides with smooth openings, the top with threads..2, 3 inch drain caps,1, 3 inch Threaded cap for the top, 4 , 3 inch round pieces of window screening .. ..Home Depot......2 round carbon filters , and a bag of granulated carbon. Pet Smart... Put 1 screen and round filter and another screen in each drain cap and slide into each smooth ends.. Rinse granulated carbon and fill from the top.. Place the cap and attach 4 inch dryer duct to each end.. No smell at all..
