so the filter on the right would be my phresh 550 cfm filter hooked to my 452 cfm vortex 6 inch inline fan sucking air from the room through the filter passing through the fan and through the lights and out the tent? correct?

now my issue is what filter would i need for the one on the lower left side? another big ol phresh filter? it says hepa so it has me kinda confused?

A hepa is a bit over kill In my opinion. I just use a piece of foam and clean it monthly. I use a hepa on my exhaust but only because it's a whole house hepa I got for free that had a charcoal canister. If your concerned about pollen and .5 micron sized stuff getting in then sure. Be sure to prefilter the hepa as they load up pretty quick and are pricey.

If you mean to filter it I'm sure foam filter material would work ok.

foam filter where can I buy one? is that the name I will ask for.
You can buy them at hardware stores I think, try googling foam prefilter and see if that helps. Also you can use furnace filter media, the cut to fit stuff and just replace it every month or so.
