Hey I have a 3x2 and a 2x2 tent that I need to run to carbon filters. I was wondering sames my fans only put out around 200 CPM if I can attach two tents to the same carbon filter to get rid of smell efficently. or do I need two filters? Currently I have one tent hooked to one filter,

it should work, but u might want to get the biggest fan the filter(cfm) can handle so u can keep good temps , i would try it and see how good it works ..

you need to create negative air pressure in the area where the two tents are. It will work for smell, maybe not for heat. Pulling more air out than you poll in (by fan) will be negative air pressure.

Have the filter in the same room as the two tents, as high as possible vented outside the room (heat rises, and you can get it out if you have an attic to vent it to or a return duct).
Highest cfm fan is a good idea, id say 8" cf and a 8" ecoplus supreme, or a 6 in carbon filter and 6 in ecoplus fan.

if the rooms are very close together, you could put a short piece of duct between them and push into the can filter. but you are prob gonna need a bigger fan though. as a 200 cfm 4" is good for one room.

are you gonna be flowering in both rooms? you should only need smell control in the last month of flowering.
