Greetings.
I'm looking into adding co2 to my room and have a few questions.

To maintain an aimbient co2 range, do you only apply on dark cycle when exgaust fan is off? What is typically done. How do I coordinate the co2 release with exguast fan so I'm not clearing out all my co2.

I thought clean, fresh air is critical. How do you tie in co2 to the mix?

No, to keep even ambient levels you need to drop a few grand on meters/controllers for solenoid/generator, and fans..
And just so you know, a burner will add more water vapor, than CO2, and quite a bit of heat.. Most ppl who take CO2 to that level of tech use bottles and solenoid driven valves

any large op uses co2 burners...your goona need either a timer that just runs it 10 t o15 mins every hour or 2 or a controller that will measure the co2 in the area and then turn it on or off depending.. or you can get a full bloan controller for a few 100 on ebay that will turn on the co2 and turn off the exit fans depending on setting...

I use a Hydroinnovations water cooled C02 burner/generator coupled with a Sentinel CHHC-1 controller. You have to spend about a grand on the whole setup, but for C02 to work you need an accurate metering system with your generator. Works great!

Co2 tanks are completely safe. Many thousands of people use them to add co2 to planted aquariums and I've never heard of a problem at all.

or a window ac like i do no heat issue's
1 an AC~unit only re circleculates air inside the room thats its in, it does not pull air from outside. the hot air is exhusted out the vents in the back of the unit the vent on the front of the unit sucks hot air in from the room cools it then blows air back out the top vent, nowhere is fresh air added

Cos is noflameable and is safe to human under 2500ppm and even obove that level there would have to be no fresh air comming in to even make you dizzy
