So is it a tent in a room or just a room?

I like 16" wallmounted oscillating fans mounted to ceiling. But given you've got half your floor space spare you can get tower fans if you like.
If it were my room an 8" extractor and least that size filter but I Dont know your climate .
You have enough light to go 1.5x3m but if you can get round all sides of tent maybe leave yourself 2ft round the back of the plants so you can get access from both sides.

I'm not going to go with tower fans as I want to save floor space for my wandering ; )

Yeah always go bigger if you can. It will last longer for one thing.

Don't blame you.
If you mount wall fans on wood you can hang them above pointing down. 1 per 5x5
My climate is uk I'm a few floors y
Thanks I've got some reinforced cardboard( stronger than mdf) here I'm going to wrap it in mylar it's 4x8 ft pieces so I've got plenty to play with and hang them above as you suggest

I'd be worried about the humidity eventually making that card soft. Last thing you want is a 16 inch wurling blades coming down on your plant

16" Wall Fan
Keep a steady breeze flowing through your room by fitting this Airmaster wall fan. With three speed settings and a simple pull-cord operation, it's perfect to call upon when you need to increase airflow on those warmer days. The 16" cooling fan oscillates to 60°, and it's easy to install - it...

Good point I will get some wood and fix it to the roof of the tent I could drill a few holes and secure it with some strong zip ties

These are my favorite fans. They stopped making them for a while and it bummed me out, but they're back now. I take the legs off and hang it horizontally between my lights. I've tried a bunch of different rotating grill fans, but these have the best spread with the least "hot spot" in the center. These don't seem to have it, but the ones I own have different modes that change the speed randomly creating nice gusts and soft rests. The only thing I don't like about them is they don't automatically turn back on if the power goes out. But whatever, they are great. My plants are always happily dancing.

You can save some drilling if your tent supports are rated to hold the board the fan will be affixed to, and slide the board over the hanging bars. In one end to get it up there, and slid on top of the other pole.
Excuse my grade school phone diagram
emoji hands are pointing to where the holes are to bolt the fan on upside down. Blue lines are supposed to be the hanging poles the lights will most likely be hanging from.
(Another idea is drilling holes to hang a strong board with rope ratchets against the wall & the fan can be mounted as if it were on a wall. Which I kinda like better) Just tossing thoughts your way.

Oh I like them. Not seen those over here
Yes the board with ratchets would let me start low then bring it up as my ladies growYou can save some drilling if your tent supports are rated to hold the board the fan will be affixed to, and slide the board over the hanging bars. In one end to get it up there, and slid on top of the other pole.

Kinda figured that one made more sense in the long run. It’s something I thought of doing myself, but ended up using a pole to hold a double headed clip fan. I used rubber ties to hold it still. Rope ratchet sounds like it would work better with gradual growth. The fans been removed & relocated since this pic. I’m well into flower, and the canopy is above the pole now. Was I getting in there to remove it? Nope lol
