Hey everyone, I'm having a hard time deciding between what carbon filter to get and I was hoping that people who have had experience with either product could give some input. I'm planning on using a sun hut blackout tent that is 2.6 ft x 2.6 ft x 5.3 ft for one plant, and using 2 T5's and CFL's for lights. I'm going to be getting a 6" hurricane inline fan that supposedly runs at 435 CFM, but someone on here told me that its not uncommon for these fan manufacturers to over exaggerate the CFM ratings of their fans to sell their product. But if it does run at that rate, I plan on getting a speed bully or similar product to slow it down. The main problem that I'm having is that I can't decide what carbon filter would be better. The Odor Sok is 6" x 16" and is 380 CFM for $40. And I'm on a budget so this would work great for me, but I'll spring for the Phresh filter if this one isn't that good. Now the Phresh filters are kind of expensive and since I'm on a budget, I was thinking of getting the 200 CFM 4" x 12" for $82 and using a ducting adapter to connect it. If anyone who knows anything about either product I could really use the help.

I've used a couple other filters, cant remember the brands but they didn't last very long and still was a little smelly towards the end. I bought a Phresh and Im very happy with its performance. Just try and make sure its not too humid in the room or tent. Humidity kills carbon filters. Good Luck
