I want to get myself a 80 CFM Panasonic exhaust fan - the box is about 19 sq feet with only CFL at the moment.I dont plan on installing a MH or HPS anytime soon. Anyways I was reading around the forums and it seems once you put a carbon scrubber on it the loudness increases pretty significantly.
Now what if the fan was not directly obstructed but still has the main grow cab flow thru the filter. Hopefully my little drawing will help explain it. I found the original post from http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=45196 - So basically you make two chambers on the top of the grow cab, then on one side you have the little carbon box in the link be the barrier into the fan chamber. The air will be forced thru the carbon box and into the fan. My question is - will this be the same as directly fitting it? Would be increase the sound like it would if it was directly attached?
