Hand made carbon filter

Hello guys, need advice about this filters.

http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=321268199412

Will this be adecvate for 1 automatic to get rid of smell?
How much of air flow does it take from vent?
Will this vent with 115CFM be enough strong to pull out enough air? <--> growbox is 2x2x5
Or should i go for 180CFM?

Doubt it. The canister filters most folks use have a 2 inch layer of carbon, while these filters for small air purifiers are less than 1/8 inch.

I have a 2X2.5 tent and use a 4" (170cfm) fan with a matching carbon cannoster. You'll need the proper fan and cannister to continually scrub the air clean and then vent it out. The 4" 170 cfm fan keeps my tent at a perfect 77 degrees and 45 percent humidity, with lights on. Lower during lights off.

Your humidity is lower with lights off? How'd you pull that off?

My temps run at 77 and 45 percent humidity with the lights on. When lights power off for 12 hours, the temps drop a few degrees to 74 or 75, Humidity fluxuates between 45-50.

That makes more sense.
