Default carbon scraper

i bought this one for 75$ at the grow store used it for 3 flower cycles so far and still no smell and its easy to take apart and change the charcoal (haven't had to yet) for 15 $ its worth the time i would spend getting all the stuff to make one

Dude, I don't care that you link to riu, but here is the problem, alot of us, myself included are banned from there, and can not see the pictures you wanted us top see.

Re-posting them would help alot of us to be able to participate in your thread.

I was interested in what you were doing, tried to look and can't. Sorry.
Peace

Hey All, I like the carbon filters over ozone genertors,More electric to run them.The carbon filter works with the exhaust fan that you have anyway.I'am not putting down ozone genertors,I just dont trust them.They can hurt you and carbon dose not.That's just me. PEACE

I didn't realize that, here you go videoman...
"Well I just had a big ass post typed out with a lot longer response to your question but somehow I must have exited the page.. sucks.. Lets see- I was going to post pics tonight of the plants but instead I hooked up my final exhaust / carbon filter setup for flowering. My 50 CFM bathroom exhaust fan just couldn't pump enough air to really push through the carbon filter very well. Today I made a trip to Menards and everything you see was found in their ducting section if your interested.

Parts list
  1. 6" Round In-Line Duct Fan (250 CFM)- $27.97
  2. Class B Rain Cap 4" - $8.38
  3. (2) - 6" x 4" Reducers - $5.32 Ea.
  4. 3" x 4" Plastic Increaser - $1.79
  5. 3" x 8' Flexible Tube (white) - $3.59
  6. Class B Wall Band 6" - $5.29
-----------------------------------
Total = $57.66 - NOT including tax.

Here is everything laid out in the way it will be assembled.


A close up of the cap so you know what it looks like. The carbon filter will be wrapped around this.


Fitting the Carbon Filter to the Cap. Cut about a 1/2" wider on each side.


The Carbon filter "CAP" all wrapped up.


This is my idea for a sound dampener. Seems to work well as I did't even know the fan was on. I put one where each screw meets the dresser on the strap. Also on the strap where the 6" fan comes in contact. Had them laying around the house.


First pic is closer up without the filter on. Just showing that you can Put on and Remove the filter without taking the whole thing out. Second pic is the end result. This should work like a charm. Figured I should get this out of the way before the buds really started smelling.


After it was in I applied 1 -2 complete wraps around each joint with Duct Tape to seal. Let me know what you guys think. Total system cost $60. I think it will work great for me."
**This guy later removed the cap that the carbon filter was attached to and just put the filter around the tube, he got better airflow.**
