Fan for DIY Carbon Filter?

[tweekjones]

I got wired computer fans and an ONA block and they should work fine for air flow and until flowering in my rubbermaid but by flowering Im going to need a fan that is strong enough to Push air through a carbon filter. I was thinking of making my own but then I saw this-
http://www.amazon.com/682-Charcoal-Filter-Duct-Free-Plastic/dp/B001E6HW50

think that will work? Maybe to big for a small rubbermaid grow and if so what fan do you suggest Hopefully with a link?!

Hi,this i have been thinking of also,but ive been told it has to be activated charcoal,could not se it in product review. I will use pc fans in my box also for air in,but how do i get them powered? Some kind of cellfone charger thing? Please post here if u find a fan strong enough to this filter

In regards to wiring your fans-

I use an extra computer fan right before my carbon filter and plenty of air makes it through. It does the job better than I originally expected.

So like you have two like taped together and that gives you enough air flow through your carbon filter? how big are the fans and what carbon filter design you using?

The Gonzo Odor Eliminator from home depot worked wonders for me, i planned on making a diy carbon filter but never had to because the odor never never leaves my closet.....Save your time and money and get the gonzo $7.99

Looks interesting and cheap enough to pick up but how is it different from ona blocks or gel?

I bought these two http://cgi.ebay.com/Computer-PC-Case-4-Pin-Cool-Cooler-Cooling-Fan-120mm-/270657668501?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f04744595 for exhaust,it has 4 wires,for reverse and something Will use a 4.7" piece of pvc-tube and fill it with actvated charcoal,will also buy two 60mm fans i guess for air in. Just gonna pick up a used drawer to keep it stealth,then start modify

The fans input: DV 12v 0.3A,so i have to find a converter that have the specs as the fans? We have 240v in houses where i come from.

volcanic rocks that are super-porous and absorb all odor

Well I just tried to take a picture but bc I sealed the light so I cant get it lit enough with a lighter but it is this carbon filter in the link in this forum exactly except I filled the screen with pet store activated carbon to increase its effectiveness for later stink.

Yeah thats the one but what kind of fan do I need for that? If you'll notice the last post on that thread is me asking the very same question with no answer

yeah looks good think ill use it in conjunction with an ona block and very small ozone generator and see if thats enough.
