1) see those 2 black straps securing the carbon air filter in place? what are those 2 black straps called and where would one be able to buy them?

2) how on earth is that heavy inline fan being supported or held in position?

thanks

I'd be interested to know what those straps are as well. I used Steel plumbers tape and huge zip ties

I can tell that the tent is a more expensive tent by looking at the cross member bars at the top....see how they are thick and do not bukle downward?? thats means its a nice tent and those bars can easly support a fan and filter Its the same material you have on a backpack strap or the straps on a bimini top on a boat.........The straps are just normal standered straps that come with the filter......You can make one yourself using an old backpack or go get some material at ACE or a material shop or you can just use some bungi cards to hold the filter up......Can use watever .......This is a most basic setup using one fan to scrub/exhaust and creat passive intake........ hope that helps

Looks like the inline is mounted on a base plate thats built on it, and the straps look like light duty automotive pull/tie down straps. You can prolly get the straps at wal-mart or a parts store. They have the ratcheting kind also, but those look like the ones you just pull to tighten

The bars to bow downward a little. But it's cool. I make a zip tie chain.

I have 2 secret jardin dr120's. both came with a set of straps like that. I use a pair to hang my carbon scrubber.

my little tiny dr60 came with said straps. I doubt ill use them as i will likely be hanging my fan/filter outside my tent with bungy's as it would take up too much space in the tiny tent.

Velcro...should be able to find that almost anywhere. Inline fans usually come with a mounting plate as mentioned.

My Lighthouse hydro came with the straps. I used them on my fan and bungee cords on my filter. Hanging almost the same as your pic(my air goes through my light).
