Looking to go with the mountain air 6" 265 CFM carbon filter, active air 6" 400 CFM inline fan, daystar AC hood, 1000 watt dim-able ballast.... Room is 5x5x6.5 in feet. Wondering if i should keep the fan inside or put it outside the tent... Questions, comments, complaints? SPEAK ON IT!

Are you slowing down the fan? I would be afraid the fan would overpower the filter

What temperature is the room you plan to put the tent in?

Odor control is a huge part of your stealth/protection so if you can get a bigger scrubber it would probably be a good idea.

1000 Watts puts out a lot of heat so you don't want to skimp on ventilation either.

You'll want a fan inside the tent to circulate air.

I believe the cfm on both the fan and the filter should match for efficiency. Also I would suggest putting the filter in the room for best air control, or keep the filter out of the room for more air removal. Just depends on your priority.
