One thing i noticed while i was building my first CAB was the amount of people ,"including myself", that was asking others how large carbon filters are :? ? People say they are big but its hard to comprehend without a good visual reference. I knew they were large from what other people had said while i was planning my build.
Its important to know when planning a stealth grow/drobe so you know how much space you will be left with and will help you to answer questions like: Will the fan still fit? ,will there be enough space for the light to do its thing?

So i thought i would just take a few pictures that i hope will illustrate how big carbon filters are so anyone thats new to all this can see once and for all the space needed to house them 8-)

this is my P.H.A.T filter , 4" ......... It is the smallest of all the highest quality carbon filters you can buy , other well known companies make this same size filter i just happened to buy a PHAT as at the time i read about a few problems a person had had with a rhino and the problem was solved with the PHAT so i decided to buy

as you can see they are not small!!!! The 8-9" models are HUGE! as tall as a small adult person lol :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: .... so no , your not gonna hide one of them easily haha

i hope this post helps someone as i know for a fact it would of helped me had a found a thread like this while a was planning my first build.

hehe , one would fit at the top of a drobe though wouldn't it ,a good 200cm tall drobe would still leave more than enough room for plant ,light and light distance?? I see what you mean about your idea though and do agree it looks FAR better, but again, the piece of mind aspect is firmly stuck in my head ;)
