Dude would be using a lot of space for his fan/filter.Whats wrong with mounting the fan inside the tent? I've mounted mine directly to the filter, put the filter on the floor and ran the duct up top and out the side. Put the intake on the opposite side of the filter which gives a nice airflow over your plants.
Let's see, an 18 in filter.. An 8 in fan which is gonna be at least 12 in across and prob the same height.Whats wrong with mounting the fan inside the tent?

Just noticed the same, that grow tent would be the shape of an outhouse.Let's see, an 18 in filter.. An 8 in fan which is gonna be at least 12 in across and prob the same height.
Now you place all that in a 2x2 area and you have no room left for plants..
That is unless its not a true inline fan, but a duct booster fan.
Nothing is "wrong" with mounting your exhaust fan in your tent but I dont because I dont have the space, airflow is much better by mounting my fan outside the tent as far down line as possible, temps stay 1-2 degrees lower because of the improved airflow and the fact you have 1 less piece of equipment in there, you will have 2 less connections in the tent to possibly leak, and if you mount it as far down line as possible and suspend it with bungee cords from the ceiling it is very quiet, especially with insulated ducting.Whats wrong with mounting the fan inside the tent?

ok I think this is what I'm going to do. Help me out if I'm Wong. I'm going to put the filter in the tent then run insulated duct through extraction hole to the fan out side of the tent then to silence it more put more insulated duct on extraction side of fan.Filter in the tent is superior only because all the air is clean so if any escapes the duct work it wont smell. For a small space if its not feasible to have it inside keep it outside but make sure all your connections are 100% air tight or smell will leak out.
An insulated box helps keep fans quiet as does insulated duct work^^.
You can indeed do it that way.ok I think this is what I'm going to do. Help me out if I'm Wong. I'm going to put the filter in the tent then run insulated duct through extraction hole to the fan out side of the tent then to silence it more put more insulated duct on extraction side of fan.
