Ideas for adding filters to intake vents?

My tent has very fine mesh screens on the intake vents that are getting clogged after only 2 weeks with the fan on. I need to add filters. Also need light blocking at the vents so they need to work for both. Was thinking about cutting rectangles out of 3/8” carbon filter material for air purifiers but I haven’t come up with a good idea for attaching them to the tent. I‘d rather not tape them on. The loop side of the Velcro is on the tent side so the filter won’t stick to it. Also not sure if adhesive/hook side Velcro would stick to the filter. I’m sure I’ll need to remove these to wash and replace them. Any ideas would be welcome.
 
I bought a 20" x 25" x 1" hepa filter, level 10, the best offered at the hope depot, it was like $20. i cut it to fit over my tent vents, and stuck it on with velcro. my tent is inside a small room. 1 door, 1 window, which i covered with rigid insulation, and cut out a hole for the exhaust vent. so it seems like a very clean room, but within 2 weeks, the filter was black. it's amazing how much dust is in the air we breath.
