Carbon Scrubber - Will this setup work.

Okay here is my plan for a carbon scrubber or filter or whatever it is called.
- Fan : http://www.eagletechcomputers.com/sun12108cfmc.html
- Carbon Filter: http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct...roductID=49749

Any thoughts? I need to know if this would be viable, the fan clears the space im using almost 2-3 times if not more per minute.
Id connect the carbon filter via laundry ducting and it would push 120cfms through it.

dude you gotta realize, once you add all the ducting and the carbon filter, your fan will be running with alot of load and will significantly reduce air displacement. One thing I have learned the hard way, you can go cheap and DIY your light buy materials and go cheap building the main structure of your box. But don't go cheap on your ventilation, it is the main thing that is going to keep your ass out of jail, don't go with a cheap fan and a cheap filter.

Drop a bit of money on the fan and a filter, do it once the first time and you won't be pissed when you get the cheap stuff and it doesn't work properly because you will have to order good stuff...

Doe it right the first time...

Yeah i agree, however the fan the sunon actually sucks my tent in tightly and i can fill air POURING in through the passive intake.

I mean i could up the fan another 100 cfm but i almost think it is to much, and all HTGsupply has done is take that 4' filter and put it on a 150cfm fan for like 140 bucks compared to 60. However ill take your advice because im sure you know well better than I how this would probably work out.
