Cooling room while using CO2? Help!

Only problem is once you get up to the 24k units, they require 240v and im running on 120v. So im not sure how id work around that.

As for installing, what quotes are you talking about? It says right on the website you can do it yourself, no professional install required.

Anyway, I run on 120v so im not sure if I can work around that.

As for pricing, I get 25 percent off the retail, so it would be about 750 bucks for the 12k, and its a nice reliable brand name unit. Is that an outrageous price or no?

on ebay, you can get a klima cool 12,000btu 115v with install kit delivered for around $6-700. so if it's that range,your golden. Also,if you have the lineset with the fittings already done, you CAN do it yourself.

you guys still need to keep in mind you will be using this ac year round. its important to get one with low ambiant temp or you will have no ac in winter.

problem solved

With 2x1000w lights aircooled by one 8 inch duct fan, my room sits at about 77-79 degrees. But of course adding 2 more lights is the reason im looking into an ac unit.

co2 work best with temp around high 80's and up to mid 90's. co2 ppm level 1500. people say to stop using on the last two week but I use it till the end.

Thanks for the rest of the replies.

Right now im just hoping to hit a decent enough temp after adding my 2 extra lights that I wont even need an AC.. Since they'll be aircooled, im hoping I can keep it in the 80s and get away without having to use an AC, but we'll see..

Another issue I thought of though with the minisplit, is even though its not drawing air out of my room, it IS going to be pumping alot of air INTO my room, replacing my co2 enriched air, which will be forced out through cracks and whatnot. Because since I have a closed setup, the air has to go somewhere with all that positive pressure coming in.. So either way im thinking if I use an ac im gonna be losing alot of co2 :/

Why is a room AC out of the question? I bought a 15k window unit for under $300 brand new from Walmart.com. I have about 6 used can 33 filters. I put my new one on the exhaust from my tent. I put 2 of the used ones in the lung room with the cheap $20 inline fans on ebay and just taped them right into the openings without any flange or anything. Standing in the room you cannot tell there is a grow in it except for the smell of the carbon filtered air. Even if you put your head in the tent you can't smell them since the ventilation is so good for the most part. The window unit took 5 minutes to install, and I then covered the windows with blackout cloth and put foam on the backside and covered in foil tape. I just co2 the tent to 1500 and it keeps the room at 1500 also. Put the intake low in the room since the co2 is heavier and it sucks it back up into the grow. The 15k can easily cool a couple 1kw lights in 100 degree weather down to what you need.

I realize that you aren't using a tent, this is easily taken care of too and secured. Build a simple box around the window with wood and nails or a sheet of that plastic wall stuff for bathrooms and put an old filter on it so your air is filtered when it goes in. I did this initially and it worked fine.

Im not sure youre getting my concern..
I think the 12k will be fine. But im not concerned about smell or filtering.

What im concerned about is the airflow coming into the room from the minisplit driving my co2 enriched air down in ppm's, and some of it out through cracks, because I have an enclosed room, and all that positive airflow from the minisplit is going to replace alot of air thats already in the room (which is co2 enriched) get what im sayin?
