I know of fans are said not work well with scrubbers. Just wondering if u had one pushing through and one pulling through a scrubber would be effective? Both would be very close to filter pretty much attached to it. Any good advice or has anybody tried this?

Restriction is restriction whether you're pushing or pulling. Axial flow fans, like pc fans, aren't very good at creating pressure to overcome restriction. What you describe will filter the air, no doubt, but may not be adequate in terms of heat dissipation. If you can do it, 2 stage cooling as described in ventilation 101 greatly reduces the need to move air thru the grow chamber.
