 Odor control for a micro grow

I'm having this small grow.
The grow box is around 22 cubic feet. I'm using a 250W hps lamp.
The person that gave me the light said he used it with an air ionizer (I'm not certain I translated that thing right...) and had no problems with the weed smell. Because of what I've read I think this will not be enough. I must make sure no smell can be detected from my grow box. Has anyone built a very small carbon scrubber for such a small grow space? Can you give me information about how to build my own? Do you have pics? Anything else about odor control in small rooms will be appreciated.
Also do you consider it possible that my current two pc fans, 58 cfm each, will be sufficient for my future very small carbon scrubber?
And the last thing - in what kind of shops is activated charcoal sold and for what? I only know I can buy some from the pharmacy but in very small quantities and expensively.

I was looking into DIY carbon filters myself for small places, and I think I found a pretty good one that a lot of members over there tried and said it was removing the smell, and worked pretty good

So my girls have been giving off their sweet sensual perfume for days now, and I know I should have done this sooner... but here is my DIY carbon filter..
Picked up a few things at walmart.
Black duck-tape
Black "Pencil cup"
Smaller black "Pencil cup"
Black ladies socks (pantyhose)
Activated carbon
Poor some carbon in the mesh like "pencil cup"
.... just enough so the smaller cup is level with the larger cup.
Slip the smaller cup into the sock
Tuck the sock into the smaller cup holding the end of the sock. Pore in the carbon.. keep holding the end of the sock.
Now pull on the end of the sock and use your finger to guide the carbon into the space between both cups until filled.
Now pull the end of the sock over the entire filter.. twist the end of the sock at the bottom and pull it up over the end of the cup.
Now simply use duck-tape to place the filter over your exhaust fan. I used a rubber band to secure it...
Works great... though I already miss that sweet aroma =[

That's exactly what I was looking for.
I don't think they sell such pencil cups around here though... This might be a problem. Tomorrow I'll check about that.
Thanks

I didn't... It's a quote from rollitup one of the members there created this.
I'm pretty sure he said it was in the fish section at walmart for the filters.
Google "Zen carbon filter" without the quotes it's the second one on the list and they talk about the carbon in there, everythings at walmart.
