Really? I have found a few in the $100 - $200 range. I have a 6" inline and although it is rated at 410 cfm, I will use it with a speed controller. Given my small space and very minimal ducting with only the filter to account for, it will never get over 210 cfm and even that is unlikely.

The Phresh Filters are a bit pricy. See:
Carbon Filters - - Phresh Filter 6"x16": 400 CFM

But most can type filters are in the $75 - $125 See:

Hydroempire

High Tech Garden Supply

I'll pop on one of the can filter-33s or something similar but would like to know if one of the more basic type of carbon filters will do the job such as the one from from HydroEmpire listed above.

Just looking for a little confirmation.
