m0useanswered grow question 3 years ago that inline fan, can be installed one of two ways.
Sucking air out of the tent, or pushing air into the tent.
Your can also hook the carbon filter up to any end of it if its reversible.
eg getting air sucked though it, or getting air pushed through it.
You will need vents in the tent to offset the pressure difference or it will stress the motor and burn out faster.
I have my fan blowing air out of the tent, and sucking that air it blows thought a carbon filter located inside the tent.
I also have two passive light proof vents I use on the tents for extra air movement.
Best Of Luck!
