How big of an Ozone Generator do I need?

I am setting up (2) 4'x2'x6' Tick's Sog'n Boxes, each with 600w HPS's. They're going to be exhausted by 250 CFM duct fans, and each have clip-on oscilating fans inside. Plants grown in 6" pots, perpetual SOG [96 lollipopped plants]. Harvest either 12 a week, or 24 every 2 weeks [haven't decided yet]. Both of these boxes are going in a 4'x8' closest. Yada yada yada.

My question is, what size Ozone Generator should I use? I need to eliminate the aroma of 96 lollipops in a 256 cubic feet room. Or would it be easier to use carbon filters?

This says its rated for 1,000 square feet, and its reasonably priced:

better and safer to use active carbon filters.

excessive levels of ozone can cause problems related to your health.

Carbon filters.

And not only can they harm you, like Southern said, but even worse, they can hurt your plants :D

What about the Vaportek Optimum 4000? Its rated for 10,000 cubic feet, but its recommended for about 300 cubic feet for grow rooms.

I hear that the DIY's don't last very long, only a month or two....

You hear wrong.

I've been using my homemade for ~3 years :yes:

And for the amount you'll spend on a Vaportek, you could get a commercially made carbon scrubber.

Oh, and fun note: When you search Vaportek on Google, ICMag ranks higher than Vaportek's official site :biglaugh:

The same one? No refills of carbon or nothing? Do you have a link? And how many plants is it filtering for and volume of the room?
