So, what is your actual problem?
Last time i used the same size fans one for exhaust(with carbon filter)+cooltube and the other for intake and my grow tent was began to swell like a balloon.
By the way it's SecretJardin DR90II Grow Tent.

You can put a speed controller on each fan, then dial in the pressure to your liking.

My exhaust is 20" carbon filter to 400 cfm fan at 2/3 speed.

My intake is Dust Shroom to 400 cfm fan at 1/3 speed.

That gives me a slight positive pressure.

Strap your carbon filter to one of the top corners, attached the fan directly to the filter (sucking the air through the filter), then run ducting to your cool tube, then from the other side of the cool tube, run more ducting to the exhaust port ;)

Why did the tent swell? were you dumping the exhaust air back into it like a dummy? The tent should get sucked in a bit from the negative pressure not the other way around.

Here's my setup, you should do the same. The fan is at the top behind the left side of the carbon filter.

Zip ties, I've been using this setup for 2 years without it ever falling. The tent is strong, very strong. I can do pull ups on it. (I'm 175 pounds) The carbon filter is only ~5 pounds.
