Ok room is 9 x 18 x 6.5ft high...

(3X) 1,000W's over 3 4x4 Flood tables. All in cool tubes with a 500cfm inline fan.

Will a 10,000 BTU portable AC unit be able to keep temps in check? Its bout 85 degrees in the room as is.. Also have a 5,000 btu AC that i could run at the same time.. Even if the 10k BTU is enough should i just run both at once to keep it in check easier?

I'd imagine 10k BTU is plenty to keep a room that size cool. but 3 1k watts sharing a 500cfm inline fan? By time the air gets to the third light it'll be fairly warm already. My 190cfm is JUST enough to cool the single 400w I run.

Runt he 5k first see what that does, if you aren't already doing so. If that doesn't keep temps where you want then fetch for the 10k and run both. If you can afford it why not?
