Fan controller runs your extraction system, tell you what to make things simple just take the fan thats sat on the floor with the silver ducting on it, take that fan out disconnect it and tuck it somewhere safe for now, keep it for a spare for now.
See with just the extraction fan running your pulling all that air from inside the tent, bassically you want the sides of the tent to pull in a little bit whereas yours blew up like a balloon , if you did that in flower the whole road would smell it lol.
Now when the tent sides are pulling in like we just spoke about thats called negative pressure, when you have negative pressure all the air in the tent has to pass through the carbon filter. Thats exactly what you want, down the line you might find the extraction fan isnt quite getting enough air in the yeah chuck the inlet fan back in but personally i think youll be fine without it.

With all that being said just give me half hour and ill try sketch something up for you so you can see what im on about

Here you go try something like this
Blue lines are the clean air ducting going into the tent.
Orange lines are dirty air being sucked out of the tent.
You can see in the example how the duct is attached to a vent in the loft hatch so you are pulling warm air from the room below, this isn’t essential but it will help to make life easier for you in the winter months. You could also cover the tent with an old duvet to help insulate it as well
