I used activated carbon for aquariums, it worked just fine IME.
like this ?

it's not advertising, just for me it's critical that there was no smell, so I need to create the right filter

Yeah, that's the stuff. You will need to change it after each grow or two.

depends on your setup obviously
i bought two of the aquarium pellet bags, took an old paper basket (wire mesh) and glued to a plastic bucket (with lid glued and cutout to the fan, easy connection) bought another basket for 2$ and used that mesh for a smaller diameter, used 1cm thick layer but that was too much, half was better
kept the smell away for 3 years growing on and off
just make the diameter/length as large as possible as that dictates the sq surface area that can filter (oh add a dust filter)

as I understand you're talking about it

I think to make here such, but I do not know a simple cooler that can blow such a thickness of coal
Hey bro
Im doing research on a small powerful fan that has enough "static pressure" to pushor preferrably pull through a carbon filter.
In my research you want a 120 mm or 140 mm PC fan that is used in servers.
Delta and noctua are the top brands most recommend.
I am considering using 2 noctua nf f-12 pwm 3000 fans.
The key here is this fan has high static pressure.
7.63 mm/H2O.
Compared to a 4" inline it is .3" water gauge(static pressure measurement) which is 1/3 of the average 4" inline fan @ 1" water gauge.

Its 7.63 mm/H2O for thr noctua
And 1" water gauge for most 4" inline fans like the s&p td 100

Putting 7.63 mm/h20 you get .3" w.g.
So yes 1/3 the static pressure if i understand correctly
I never used CM where did you get CM? 7.63 cm is 3".

Hey man I am going to be making oen of these in the next few days.
I got the idea of someone else thar grows on these forums and they use fans in total. They have it like this -
[PC fan][Empty PC fan][Empty PC fan filled with carbon]
He said he didnt have any problems so I am going to do that
