    \t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis is the formula I have found in numerous places to calculate what size fan one will need. Example on left. My tent on right.

    LxWxH / 5 min

    10'x10'x10' / 5 Min --------2' x 2' x 6' / 5 min
    = =
    1000 ft^3 / 5 Min ---------24 ft^3 / 5 min
    = =
    200 ft^3 / Min ------------4.8 ft^3 / 1 min
    = 200 CFM = --------------4.8 cfm


    So I will need 4.8 CFM doubled since I will be going through a carbon filter. Why do I need a inline fan that is way way way more powerful than the formula suggests? Am I missing something? Please help!! \t\t\t\t\t\t​
