Grow tent assembly - HELP!

So I got a 4by4by8 tent and 400 watts HID lights with reflector and fan with filter. I really don't know how this set up is supposed to look as I got it from a guy leaving the country so it was a good deal. I'm trying to post some pics so you can see what I have. But what I need to know is how it is supposed to be laid out.

sites not letting me upload pics at the moment

I hang my fan and filter at the back of then tent with the fan pulling thru the filter and run duct thru the light and out. The filter and fan are hung at a higher level than the light and close to the back wall. Hope you understand my explanation. Just hit the pipe.

Just seems like this is too heavy to hang from those small beams. Know any tricks for support ?

I fastened the fan to a board and laid it across the cross members to distribute the weight. I also used big zip ties to help support the fan. I have a 6 in inline fan with a 6 x16 filter. The frame will support it as long as you distribute the weight.

I've set up 4 of them so far. It's always a pain in the ass, but it will work.

one more question, and that's it lol. the fan blows the air out through the carbon filter. So what can I use for fresh air intake? as the end without the filter will be blowing the hot air out. Do I need another small fan ?

The fan should pull the air in through the filter. then thru the light, then out. That will supply your fresh air.
