I use a cap ppm-2 in order to run my co2 I use to have it in both rooms but one took a shit on me. I had a cycle stat timer and put my co2 moniter in the room and just figured out how long it took to fill and how long it took to come down. heres a link to a calculater should help

UGU,
Thanks for yr. reply. O.K., heres the deal: The co2 gen. I'm planning to buy will bring my room to 1800ppm in 30 mins. Ther'll be 200 plants consuming the co2. No room leaks. What do u think ?
How often does your co2 gen. cycle on/off ?
How long does it take you to use 5 gals. of propane ?
I'm trying to get a feel for this as I don''t want to buy the wrong generator, etc.

How big a room you trying to fill? also what gen you getting I would get the cap either gen 1 or 2 (get the E model its piolotless ignition)depending on your room size they are expandable the gen 1 does up to 12 cu ft co2 an hour the gen 2 does up to 24. thats with all the burners each burner is 3 cu ft a hour the more burners the less time it is on. my 5 x 8 room takes about 2 minutes to fill to 1000 ppm every 20 min. a 5 gal propane lasts about 2 weeks. compared with a 20lb bottle of co2 every 4-5 so the savings are good. allthough in the summer I have to switch to bottles sometimes. we had a 109 degree hot spell that lasted about 2 weeks my temps got up to 92 so I cut the gen and solved the problem but 2 weeks out of the year isn't bad. Also you mentioned something about priming the pump I have heard the term before maybe you can enlighten me. I was thinking maybe the siphon break in the line some how messed with it but I had those before with no problem.

update day 1 flower. So I got sick of the wire I will put it up only when I need it. It has only pissed me off since the day I put it up and untill the plants strech out its pointless. I think houdini figured out why the pumps failed, the pump became unprimed by sucking air I still am going to leave it the way it is just cause I see no reason to change it back for now. What I plan is to flip the bottom floats in the brain bucket upside down that way there is always about 4 inches of water in the brain bucket and the pump can never suck air and fail.
