Will this move enough air?

Your question can't be answered my friend.

Even on the fans that show a CFM, it depends on what you are trying to cool. CFL's? Sure. 3x1000W? Probably not so much. You live in Minnesota or the desert?

And the fans that have no CFM? C'mon.

I know, sorry, i thought maybe someone could tell more info. by the other numbers on the website.
I did the LXWXH And came up with like 800, so it wouldn't work anyway.
Maybe i'll just get 2 of the inlines off ebay, and make two exhaust.
My intake is all passive, from non-airtight building around the room.
I thank you for the response, but i live in OHIO,running400 watt MH and HPS in two cabinets. I was thinking of linking the two together with duct work......

you are also lacking on starting info.
fans move volume (usually measured cubic feet per minute CFM or also cubic liter / hour)
A basic formula to use is:

(Fan CFM) X (T) = (Volume of Room)

T= Amount of time for fan to remove or replace total volume of room Research on this site will show a recommendation time of around 5 minutes.

Since you did not define your room height (or if you did I'm sorry I missed it)

your room volume given a 8 foot height of the room would be

V = 10 x 12 x 8
V = 960

Now to figure out our fan rate

we use the above formula from before:

CFM x (5) = 960

CFM = 192

hope this helps
