That's a great build. Without taking away from the DIY aspect of this thread but focusing on the "lost cost" side I'd recommend the Odor-Soks. They're cheap, they work awesome (for small rooms and closet grows), they're lightweight and you can pull more air though them than can filters (of the same physical size) http://www.hydroponics.net/i/133483 $46.50 for an 8"x20"

keep up the good work

Remember when you hook these up the flexi mylar duct is not light proof. If there is light on the other side of the wall where your intake/exaust is it will shine through the duct. Just something to consider.

I have been doing HVAC for almost ten years now and I find it ridiculous that cost upwards of $50 (for the cartridge alone) when it really only takes a few minutes to build and basically pennies to purchase the materials. I can make 4 filters for about $5 all together (they're disposable and should last about 3-4 weeks being lightweight).
Dont waste money people! DIY
thanks for the rockin post Doc!

How do these sheet replacement filters work compared to the pebble carbon?

Edit* these replacement carbon filter sheets work very well, much easy to work with then the carbon pebbles also.

not to get off subject.... and i do like these filters... they seem nice... i would maybe customize the idea a bit.... maybe a couple of layers of those filters with the carbon dust in between.... thats pretty much what i did on my setup.... all of the vents have those filters cut to the duct size and stuck inside with foil tape... but i have to say that i would recommend the following much more... its a liquid caled ONA. and you can make these little buckets with a fan on the top that disperse the smell really good I have it attached in the inside acting as a second exhaust... it works great.....




you can see on the other exhaust i put coming from the flowering chamber has those carbon filters in the inside ....
