I don't know who told you that but my vivosun 6in for my veg tent works great I don't smell a thing ...And fuck canfan garbage no thank you rounded pellet B's I'f u have any of those I'd suggest you return it asap......It's all in the type of carbon the company uses and how much flow they move etc..But pellets are thee worst period....
Your filter is made from coconut shell carbon. Phresh is made from carbon mined out of the earth.
No my good life filter uses carbon as well just like the phresh filters use and for 1/10 of the price and does thee exact same thing....It works great for me I don't smell shit in my house or neighborhood for that matter either so I'm perfectly fine with what I have....Also the vivosun filters I got for free in the first place...And vivosun uses 1050+ RC 48 Australian Virgin Activated Charcoal...And my good life uses rc412 just like phresh ...So I'm perfectly fine with my cheap ass filters and they actually work....So if u want to pay 10x the price for the same exact thing then be my guest......
There's lots of plumbing for a rdwc setup with either airstones for veg and wAterfall for bloom that's just how it is...Plus the plumbing I have is nice in clean and not a complete cluster fuck like most ppl have...I'm too ocd to do shit like that I also don't use any hoses either for like my return and theres a drain kit as well which leaves me with less than a gal in the entire system to shop vac out which is better than the 20gal I used to have to do with the B's return pump to drain as it stops when it's 1/4 below the PVC manifolds so I think not and that's where the drains come into play and works wonderful esp for me since I am disabled which is the main reason I made the system I did for ease of use and not having to lift anything really...And I did make it k.i.s.s vs most rdwc setups check em out u will be shocked to see all the lines running everywhere in every direction etc and a complete cluster fuck lol
