I just have my filter outside the tent and the exhaust fan pushing through it. Probably gonna hang it inside the new 5x5 with the new led, but with a 630w de cmh in a 4x4 tent I needed that extra headroom in there.
Anyone using inline carbon filters?

Yes, that doesn't work if you are exhausting outside though.

before you diy and learn your fans aren’t up to the task:
Not all exhaust fans will be able to push or pull through the diy idea.
That’s why there’s so much surface area in normal filters. To scrub and allow air through without too much resistance.

I was just thinking about that. Wouldnt be a bad idea to disect a spent one and measure, or weigh how much is in there, in conjuntion with its intended duct size
It is easy, I used a cardboard box. One end of spiral flex duct connects to the tent, the other end screws into a hole in the side of the filter box and is secured with duck tape. The filters flange protrudes through hole in the other side of the box and connectes to the exhaust fan.
Here's a diagram from @MtRainDog
A question about my 45x40x80 cabinet.
I'm going to make a small closet in the house a single plant cabin. I think with 1 autoflower and a nice lst this would be possible. Dimensions 40x45x80cm My question is, can I use a 160m3 fan and carbon filter for this cabin? Does this fan dry the air inside too much because the cabinet is...

Anytime man
I don't see how those can work, they don't have near enough airflow capacity... septic tanks don't have fans pulling air through them.
The cylindrical inside of a common 4" x 12" long carbon filter has 150 square inches of surface area. The 4" circle of a septic filter has a surface area of 12.56 square inches.
10 CFM for fans that can move hundreds of CFM?
"The Super Wolverine can handle pressurized air flow up to 10 CFM such as when a pump turns on."
"The Wolverine Cub is an economical, residential, low flow activated carbon filter."

Yep. Better to buy something designed for the purpose you intend to use it for and not something else.I don't see how those can work, they don't have near enough airflow capacity... septic tanks don't have fans pulling air through them.

On the website I see no options for fan diameter, just the length of the filters. There is a 24 and 30" option. Is one 6" and the other 8"?

Update on my inline filter situation. The active air is badass and still performing flawlessly.
The 4" pvc filter for my smaller tent turned out to be a fail. My yard started smelling like a familly of skunks.. I ordered the 4" carbon filter made by kootenay that was mentioned earlier in this thread

Well the kootenay 4" inline filter arrived today and there is no way in hell I can use this thing. It is literaly the size of a large dog and probably weighs over 60 lbs. I saw this ginormous box on my front porch and was like WTF, there's no way thats a filter! Lucky for me it was poorly packaged and arrived damaged, perfect excuse to send it back..
I guess I'll be looking into making my own 4" inline carbon filter out of pvc..
