I got one to monitor my room from my computer just for fun and knowledge. Well it showed up so far out of calibration I could not use it at all. They wanted me to spend another 300 bucks for the calibration kit. So just be aware dude.

To answer the question yes it will work but you do need to do some wiring and install a relay and power supply to the tank controller.

if your going to use co2 you should use it properly i believe you can do more harm then good if done wrong i have co2 controller and they pay for themselves in no time i have an ultimate controllers co2 manger and believe me when set properly it will dial your room in and create the optimal environment for growing your plants to max potential which is what we all want isnt it?

Believe me, the money pit comes a callin almost every week now! Co2 is about my only shortcoming at this point; Ventilation fans also, but I have A/C. Not to say that I don't a very happy photosythesis going on. Frosty's getting frostier by the day, I want Maximum Yield, so, Yes sir, we all want to be the best we can be!...Thanks guys that was just the info I needed.

surreyBC I want the best, that's for sure. I just saw that co2 monitor controller and felt like I* could wire it to turn co2 on/off...now it has been confirmed that it could...
footnote* I'm pretty handy and have a gift of the ability to fabricate just about anything into something, so to speak...for fun and knowledge...

Z you know the calibration issue with the ventostat might stem from the fact that they are design to monitor co2 levels in public buildings, in order to keep the co2 levels below toxidity by triggering a ventilation system.(don't want to kill all those shoppers) I did go to the website and it was very informative. I figured you'd have a clue about it, so I asked...thanks again.lw...also, I couldn't find the plastic welder @harborfrieght.


By the way Z, I have 8 clones vegging in my madman aero system...took a couple of tweaks, but the sprinklers are are working fine, although I would like to have a fine spray mist.(soon!) It took a couple days of shock coming out of DWC, but then they started to fluorish, thanks for your support, lw
