UK To build or not to build (LFH)
    #28615875 - 01/09/24 11:57 PM (1 year, 7 days ago)

Good day, I'm ok with tools and such, In the uk would you bui;ld your own LFH or would you buy one?

I am stating the UK as we can't get all the products everyone else gets.

Building one yourself should be cheaper?

I built that one myself out of a piece of MDF, inline fan with a speed controller on it and one of these filters.

https://www.jfilters.com/air/filters/umpw8814/laminar-flow-filterandnbsp-88mm-deepfilter-class-iso29463-4andnbsp-iso-45hfilter-grade-en1822-4andnbsp-h14global-efficiencyandnbsp-99-995-rated-airflowandnbsp-0-45m-sinitial-pdandnbsp-80pa

Easy peasy, works like a charm. :specialralph:

Just ask if you need help.

18 x 24 inches mine is.

I'd go 24 x 24 if I had to do it again. Or even 36 x 24. :psychsplit:

Thanks mate, It's the width that people seem to need, I'm going to be building a work area for this to fit into.

I'd say the height is my limiting factor.
I'm close to the top of the air flow when doing stacks of petris when I get to the last couple up top. I can't get the last bit of agar out of the bottle, always annoying. :wow:

The width is fine for me. Unless I split the stacks of petris in half, then I got no room to work.

I only ever do 2 stacks of petris at a time, 2 bottles of agar and then hand wriggle room, the 24 inches is bang on. 36 would be nicer, but then I'd just have more space, meaning more shit in front of me to knock over.
