Activated carbon filter fan and homebox help needed

[skippy pb]

Hey, im purchasing a homebox soon, the home box large. And i want to hook up an activated carbon fan to it.

Does anyone know of any fans with activated carbon filters (built in or not) that wont putrude out any further then the exterior wall of the home box?

For example a Can-fan, just with a carbon filter in it already.

Ebay has many unit such as you speak of, CF's with fans built in . But most of them appear to be homemade units. Not saying homemade is bad but if it's gonna be homebuilt anyway why not make it yourself? Also what are the dimensions on the box? How do you intend to run it, Filter-->fan-->?Exhaust? or as a scrubber?

And i understand there will be a slight loss in efficency but why not just install the carbon filter on one side and run ducting from it around a corner and then into your fan. Seems like your easiest approach if you already have a filter or fan.

Good luck

Can fan will work and carbon filters tend to work better when you have them in the grow room an pull air through them anyway.

The dimensions are mostlikey 31.5 W x 31.5 D x 63 H. Thats what im shooting for. Im not sure what a scrubber is but i want it to go fan-->Filter-->exhaust or fan-->exhaust--> filter.

But which would you say is the best? or are they all realtively the same?

I Checked out ebay and think thats the way im gunna go.
