Help!

ok so i fucked up
long story short, i hooked up a carbon filter, cooltube and fan the other day. i had a small fan from wal mart that once in a while id put on and blow air in through the top of the tent. with that tiny fan going, the tent would blow up. i thought that wasd odd since the fan pulling air out was so much stronger. i saw plastic under the pre filter on the carbon filter.. thought that was odd and shouldnt be there.. i took it off.. the tent was now like a dried prune.. i looked at the other side of the tent where the fan taking our from the filter was and there was black carbon that spewed out.. not much at all, but noticable. i wasnt supposed to take that plastic off was i? or is the black stuff coming out normal? it stopped now but i dont think that was good.. really need some help please

My guess is the plastic was part of the packing to keep the filter fresh and yes, should be removed. A little carbon coming out is normal from what I've read. Loose pieces that slip through the holes. As long as was just a little and has since stopped coming out, you should be fine. The same thing happened with my filter, I ran my fan at full blast for a while to blow it out and everything was fine after that.
