    Default Not sure if this is right?

    So i just set up my extractor/carbon filter. Is this set up correctly? I have the filter, then fan, then ducting leading out of the tent. Air being pulled left to right starting at the filter

    That's a correct inline setup, what's the filter/fan brand?

    just as an extra i found out that silver ducting leaks light, ur better off with combi ducting, it's also a lot quiter and totally lightproof

    Yes that is correct but you are losing a lot of airflow with that 90 degree bend there. Does your tent have a side exit to run the ducting out straight?

    Was asking to make sure your fan doesn't exceed the filters max air exchange of 160 m³/hour or the smell will leak
    the fan is almost the same size as ur filter hence the question

    Ah i see...Well the filter was sold to me with another fan that is actually larger than this one, so i think it will be ok.
