Hey hey. I am about to build an automated stealth fruiting chamber and I wanted to use a filtration device of some sort for incoming air.
So my question is....polyfill or a small hepa filter?
I am not going to give out details because this will be a surprise....and I hope a faq contrib. But even so, for a small computer fan, poly or hepa?
Advantages/disadvantages? etc?

polyfill is a lot cheaper and avaibale everwhere but i do not see why u would want your "incoming air" to be filtered.
if u are going for a large scale project, a ultrasonic/coolmist setup is your nr1 choice besides that, its all just toying around. peace ohm

Well ultrasonics and coolmists make noise, and are not stealthy whatsoever. And yes they do make A NOISE, and a hum itself in a complely silent part of the house is going to attract attention. Not to mention a tall humidified "clothes rack" hooked up to these things. haha.
I know what I am doing.
And you ask why filter the incoming air? Well, tell me why mono/double tubs use polyfill? To filter the air, correct? Or do they like looking like santa claus? 
Anyway, I was mainly wanting a "scientific comparison" of which is better for filtering bacteria and whatnot.

Keeping things as clean as possible in this hobby is something to strive for not question as it can be the difference between success and failure. Either will work just fine, poly is easier to replace over time but hepas look much more professional and are more efficient.
