Man, you're probably going to need something better.

I don't see any specs on the listing, but I don't think that unit/setup produces much CO2 volume...

In other words,... I don't think it'll work for a grow room... not noticiably anyway...

Just my 2 cents...

[chisme]

is it me or are they for underwater plants?

[junkboxer]

yes it might be i was wondering that 2 but can you put it in your hydro resoviour for the same results?

forgetaboutit... for fish tanks. Gots to spend the bucks for CO2 dude. Get a 20# tank for 70 bucks off ebay (shipped, but have to watch out for the auctions), just wait they show up. 20 to fill, hydrotest another 15.

and how long will a "20#" tank last me?

I hear you can grow underwater plants and feed baking powder for co2

Imagine breathing oxygen rich water? or super super humid air

I've been running my 20# tank for about 6 weeks now. 2hr shots twice a day, running a level between 1400ppm and 1800ppm. Space is 28x28x5'h. I just looked at my high-side regulator gauge and I don't see where it has dropped noticeable from "full".

Your mileage may vary

objects in the rear view mirror are clser than they appear

offer void in the lower 48 and most of the solar system

This setup looks useless for what you have in mind. It's not gonna generate enough volume over time to be economically feasable. A 20-gallon aquarium tank is just a few cubic feet. How big is your grow space? The water catches and holds the co2 in ways the atmosphere can't. How are you gonna control it?

And to argue their marketing hype -- a pressurized tank is the least "inconvenient" and most controllable of any co2 enrichment method. I've tried the pellets, the soda and vinegar, and the fermentation. The only thing I see these solutions as good for is masking the plant odor with a whole different level of stench.

my grow space is arond 4ft by 3 ft
