yes you really need something inside the tent to circulate the air to eliminate potential hotspots etc
I would avoid the clip on style ones as they lack any real power to push air around
All I did was take the base off of a 30cm deskfan to make it less unwieldly and hung the fan in the corner of my tent
blows a lot more air around than 3 of the clip on style put together

A cheap oscillating fan will do the job, can hang them upside down if you like. If using a cheap oscillating fan I do suggest putting it on a timer and turning it off for half hour a day to let the motor cool down or it won't last very long.
If you wanna go all out there are DC powered wall fans that use next to no power and have 8 speed settings for around $150 each.

Interesting point about cooling the motors off
'
genuine question i thought they were cooled off by the air moving over them?

Yes very much so ...as you gotta disturb that boundry layer of air that can choke some stomata
totally still air is not in nature
moving that layer allows even more C02 in
you could however trash the inlet fan double up ion the extract
as being passive..= sux air from allover so de stinks the place
good luck

Wasting your time with intake unless you have a sealed room
Tents are made for passive air intake,this allows you to have negative pressure in tent keeping the smell in
Having intake will give positive pressures and the smell will be punped out of all the vents
Doing this carbon filter becomes irrelevant

You can still get negative air pressure with an intake fan in a tent or smaller room, just need to size and run exhaust and intake correctly in regards to each other.

Yeah, I only use passive air intake. Fans are used for air movement, and extraction fan with carbon filter for air exchange.
