its better to use a lower cfm fan for a carbon filter. the longer the air has contact with the carbon the more smell it pulls out. so like a 150cfm fan is perfect. it dont have to be a expensive one. those cheep duct boosters work well for it. unless you want to use it as exhaust to. then you will need a bigger one

your room is only 16 cubic feet. maybe you want to improvise a solution as any fan you can buy would be overkill (with like 165 CFM). you could buy some computer fans. one i looked at was 24$ and moved 70CFM. that would probaly solve your problems.
