so one day i was watching an episode of urban grower and saw this nice carbon filter that was a big sealed box with wire drawers that were layers of carbon. of course i cant go and buy one for 1 its too damn expensive for my ass and 2 i couldnt ship it anywhere.

after seeing that episode i knew i had to make the filter because i thought it would scrub better. afew reasons for that is i can control the layers of carbon better. it seems as if the pressure from the fan would equalize more before hitting the filter and be moving slower. and depending on your situation you can make a big scrubber for cheap. and the last reason is you can make it look a hell of alot better

now to make my filter it only took $30 without the carbon. and remember you can use any size home air filter you find at home depot. the bigger the filter the better scrubbing action and bigger box and more equal pressure. i had to go with a 10"x20"x24"h because of where it is. i already think its is working better.

3-1"x2"x8' wood $1each for the frame of the box
3-1/4 ply 2'x4' $5each(or get 1 full sheet if you have good tools)
liquid nails to seal the box
duct tape cause i havnt figured out a good way to get out the filter without the tape.

enjoy:thumbsup:
please explain more. what kind of fans(speed size n' such) and hows it hooked up? :rastasmoke:
