Hi everyone,

My first grow is rapidly approaching and I wanted to run my idea by a few of you more-experienced types before I go ahead and ruin it.

I'm very limited on height, so I was thinking of making a shorter filter, but with a larger diameter. I would probably have two fans blowing into it, but I'm not exactly sure yet. To fasten it to my box, I was thinking about just getting....you know, those u-shaped things with the pointy ends. The last thing I was thinking about was using some of these instead of pantyhose. (I have a bunch lying around.) Do you think they'll be breathable enough? I can't say I've ever tried to move air through pantyhose, so I really don't have anything to compare it to.

Oh, and while I'm thinking about it, I've looked at some fans and some say on the package the amount of decibels they put out. Some do seem a bit loud, but I was wondering, how much does being inside a wooden box lower the noise level?

Thanks
