Is this a good fan/filter?

Hey, I'm getting a budbox growtent and just wondering if you think this fan/filter is a good choice to go with it? Pic below.

Oh yeah,

I've got two of those hurricane type fans and they work better than just about anything on the market.

Thank you both kindly. Now ordered and on its way

[Zoidberg]

About GBP90 on ebay but GBP130 here: http://www.basementlighting.com/Merc...oduct_Code=CB1

Also, seeing as I'm a total newbie. When I get this and my budbox, do I just suspend it from the roof of the tent and put the duct out through the roof? I think this is about right.

I ask because I've seen people mostly running these with cool tubes and ducting seems to be going all over the place.
