Looking to add co2

[Ez Rider]

I've been experiencing difficulties, which I believe are being caused by insufficient co2. You can see my infirmary thread:https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=292173

My tent (5x9) sits in one corner of my 16x16 bedroom. It seems that a few open windows with fans isn't cutting it. I'm considering an Ares 4 burner unit(http://www.titancontrols.net/products/co2-devices/ares-4-burner-co2-generators.aspx), with an atlas 2 controller(http://www.titancontrols.net/products/co2-devices/atlas-2.aspx). The plan would be to mount the controller in the tent, and hang the generator outside the tent. I've got a 6" maxfan on constant exhaust in the tent, so if the entire room is being kept at 1500ppm, I should be ok. I've done some reading, all of which suggests that 1500ppm co2 is perfectly safe for humans and animals. I'm not home for most of the light cycle, but there will undoubtedly be times when I'll be in the enriched room for
several hours at a time.

Anyone have any other ideas, or a similar experience?

sounds very doable in a room that size EZ
I would mount the sniffer/controller in the room, not the tent and keep good ventilation going with air between the tent-n-room and the ppms in the tent will be fine

if your tent fan ever went down co2 would keep cycling and possibly load Co2 in the room to dangerous levels and you wouldn't be able to tell ubtill you started passing out,
it would be a potential death trap for anyone entering the room.

Seeing as I sleep in that room, thanks for the info

Still undecided on what to do. I'm going to get a co2 test kit to compare the tent against the outside. If co2 levels are low, the generator is the answer. If co2 looks even ok, I have to believe the tent is the problem. One thing is CERTAIN: the plants that weren't returned to the tent showed dramatic improvement within a few hours.

FWIW, a new 5x9 Gorilla tent will set me back about the same as a generator/controller.

I'll get back after the shop opens, and I can do a few co2 tests.

if your sleeping in the room I would seriously consider going with tanked Co2 for safety.
the controller can mess up, its not unheard of.

#2 I run 900ppms, when i'm working in the room(14'x20') for for extended periods
the ppms can climb to 1750,
after a few hrs sometimes i start feeling tired and a low level headache starts in to the point i feel like taking a short nap.
take a break from the room to fresh air, after 15min I'm a brand new man.
