Intake Fan Filter

[etinarcadiaego]

Need a filter for me intake fan, nothing carbon or anything, just something that'll keep the bugs out and such without too much airflow restriction.

Anybody using anything that would work for this?

I did a search a found "Freezerboy" recommends aquarium filters . . . just wondering how those affect airflow . . . hopefully he'll see this . . .

Dryer sheets won't block mold spores but work well for normal dust. If you want a really good material, 3M sells HVAC filters at WatMart. Some of them block almost all airborne particles. You can remove the cardboard and cut the material to size. I just use the dryer sheets because mold hasn't been a problem, knock on wood. The tighter the weave, the sooner you'll have to change or clean the filter.
