Carbon filtration question.

I'm getting to the point where I need to start thinking about an air filter. I figured I'd get some bulk charcoal and some screen and make up a bin with the inlet at the bottom and the outlet at the top so the air has to percolate through the carbon. Plus it ought to be easy to change that way. I'll be installing a 250CFM fan which is overkill for the space, so that ought to provide enough oomph to push the air through the carbon, yeah?

Then I had another idea...you know the carbon water filters for home water systems ? They're about 3" diam and 12" long. Besides being perfect for dechlorinating municipal water, I figure I could make up a holder out of PVC pipe and force the air through it. Even easier to change and the replacement filters are pretty cheap, especially in bulk.

Thoughts ?

Thx

BTW, I might not be on the rest of the day, but I'm back tomorrow afternoon sometime. I'll be putting some fresh pics on my grow thread too :^)
