well after 2 hours of searching iv got a general idea of how im going to do it, im goin to make one usign the fag from OG with the chicken wire ect.

but im going to make it 8" in diameter with a 6" insert so that will leave me with 2" of filter media around t he inner insert.

now my question is for the people that have done this is how the endcaps go together on the end that goes to the fan...like how do you keep the carbon i n the filter and to keep it from spillign into your fan? i was thinking along the lines o f maybe a peice of ply wood cut into a circle and insert it into the end so the carbon wont spill out?

could somone possibly take a quick pick for me of both ends of ther filter?

tyia!!!!:rasta:

Using 6 inch and 8 inch caps still only makes 1 inch of filter media....(diameter...) You'd need to use 10" and 6" to make 2 inches.
