Right now I have it sitting on a closet shelf, which works. But the fan is not making a complete seal at the scrubber. How do you guys attach your fans to your scrubber???

How do I attach my fan to my scrubber to mount horizontal?

thanks dude, but that means more duct, and a loss of back pressure. I just used those same black bungee cords to make sort of a pair of suspenders. they wrap around the fan, and down the bottom of the scrubber.. I'll upload when we can upload again..

mount the can vertically with the inline fan sitting "dead weight" on top. I do it in a reverse application and it works just fine without tape or screws involved.

Notice the 10 inch inline sitting dead weight on the floor flange. I added a length of 10" rigid to the flex duct and it sits dead weight on the inline fan.
No screws or tape involved as the contact surfaces, all being round, mate up nicely. There is also a filter screen on the outside of the floor flange to keep critters out when the fan is off.
You would do this in reverse by hanging the can filter in the corner about 16 inches below the exhaust duct you have already, sit the fan ON the filter and connect with a much shorter piece of ducting. Now it's tucked away and not a head banger, and it gives more vertical space for the ladies to expand into.

My room is passive air, so on the floor would mean less back pressure again, and not as efficient removal of hot air..
Here is what I did....I did this like 10 minutes after I posted the question, tried to delete but you can't remove the starting post in a thread.

with my can 100 i bought a 8'' mating flange that attaches to the filter itself and it tapers to a 8'' opening , it also comes with a gasket to use so you can make your seal air tight.
If that isnt good enough there is always foil tape, or line the inside of your filter with some plastic around the opening at the top, put some tape on your fan around the bottom where it meets to the opening in the filter, and then spray some expanding foam in the gap.
Use the mounting brackets that came with the inline fan and hang it from the celing, use bungee cords to hang the can filter and use some chain as a extra stop from the filter falling.
Should be in business, works for me.

how often do you guys change your carbon out? I'm not flowering yet but so far it works awesome.. Ive been using it for almost 3 years but its almost 4 years old.

Here's something that may help some of you.
Paint sheet metal surfaces with that "liquid rubber" used for tool handles. Comes in sparay on cans or paint on liquid. Use it where screw/bolt holes go through and the any sheet metal surfaces that may touch and cause vibration related noise. The rubber will act like a gasket of sorts and dampen vibration related noise.
