If you get a filter you just your HV fan before the light and your carbon filter behind your light, your fan will pull air through the filter then through the light and out of your tent.

solid list.

Just wanted to add, that my hoods have a 6 in. vent hole, but I have an 8 in. fan. They have size connector things you can get, the people at home depot helped me get everything I needed. Once you vent your light/tent, you will be fully qualified to handle installing a carbon filter.
