So did the filter fall off of the ducting? or off of the wall/ceiling and onto the floor? If it's the latter velcro strips isn't going to fix your problem, you need to mount the fan/filter to a stud.

Not velcro strips, but straps. They wrap around the circumference of the filter. There are 2 of them, 1 on either end of the filter. From these straps they hang from the inside of my tent. They came with either the filter or the tent, and have yet to fail me. (knocking on wood right now!)

I've seen large filters hung from the ceiling using tie downs, like the strap ones you would use to strap a bunch of shit down in the back of your truck that have the ratchets on them etc..

Yo Bulldog. Are u flowering in a tent or a room? And do u have a ceiling, of coarse if flowering in a room. I get into my ceiling, find a wooden beam in the ceiling above my room- drill 4 holes in the ceiling (around the beam...) and hang the fan from there, using wire or rope, whatever i have. This is pretty solid- fan will never come off and looks pretty stylish. Sometimes i just strap the fan to the duct with duct tape (if i don`t have a clamp)- works pretty fine- but need to keep an eye on the duct tape...

Peace
