It attaches to the top of your tent above your light. Heat rises so the inline fan pulls heat from your light and tent. You leave a bottom flap open for negative pressure, your inline fan will pull cooler fresh air in from that open flap, that air will run through your plants canopy, up and out. Its best to have a oscillating fan on the tent floor, then a pole, clip fan or 2 halfway up or so. Early in growth they can help guide heat up, in later growth the oscillating has the plants base covered while the clip/pole fan sends a breeze through the upper canopy. Really the more air flow you can have the better. Not so much on seedlings you don't even want the fan blowing directly at them, however in veg pushing 60%rh or more air movement aids against mold and mildew, a breeze also strengthens stalk and branches.
