Do I need a filter for my inline fan that will be used to bring fresh air into my tent? I have a 6 inch fan to be used as exhaust with a carbon filter was wondering if I need to use a carbon filter when I'm using another fan to bring air in

Why would you? Some use a pair of tights to stop contaminants or bugs getting through but unless your exterior of the tent smells I don't see a point

Could my 6 inch fan be used for both? Drawing fresh air in and drawing air out of the 4 x 4 tent?

I used to do that but with a 10", so I had a vent at the bottom, filter/fan was at the top and made sure the sides were sucking in and did a smoke test, I think they call it ;passive; intake

I use these for my intake fans, and some exhaust fans. It's crazy the amount of dust and shit it stops from getting in my grow areas.

Do you even need a fan to bring air into your tent? Passive air is usually all you need.

Wouldn't you want more fresh air being pulled in if it were you in that tent? Hahaha jk but seriously xD

This is exactly what I'm doing too. the top fan is always spinning and I've got two layers of fine mesh cloth over the bottom vent to stop bug attacks.
