DIY Tent ventilation question.

I just built a 20"x20"x30" tent. I have only two plants in it right now. The temp when it is closed up is about 83-85. I have a big vornado like fan in it right now blowing the hot air out and now it is at 78F. Anyways, I just purchased one of these 4.5" axial fans that is 112cfm. http://www.greners.com/fans-ventilation-filters/products/axial-fans/axial-fan-with-cord.html I want to be able to keep the door completely closed and yet have a good ventilation system in place to keep it as close to room temp as possible. My tent is made out of panda film so I thought I could attach a 2nd sheet of poly to one of the side walls then make a hole in the top of the outermost sheet, then a hole in the bottom of the inner most sheet for a passive intake. Then repeat for the top using the same concept to preserve light tightness. I would put the fan at the top exhausting air out and creating negative pressure for the passive air intake to work.ventilation.jpgSomething like that. Think it'll work? Anybody ever tried anything like this before? Will the air pressure keep the two sheets of poly from sucking together and blocking off air flow or will it keep the sheets separated with a steady air flow?
