reservoir in c02 enriched sealed room?

Would I have any problems maintaining saturation levels of 02 in my reservoirs if I have them in my 1200ppm c02 enriched sealed room?

I do run h202 in my res but don't want to rely on that as the sole source of o2 in my water

I would just put your air pump in another room.... I have never had a problem with having a red in the room, I just have a recirculation pump mixing the nutrient solution.

I thought of that, and rigged the pump so the intake came from outside, but I don't do it anymore because I realized that there's the same amt. of O2 in the air with or without CO2. About 200,000 ppm of O2. If the 1200 ppm of CO2 crowds out any O2 it'll be about 250 ppm. Good luck. -granger

I run F&D and never had to worry about temps. I have never kept a room at 82 either, and not sure how that will affect the nutrient solution in a H202 supplemented F&D system. So I'm asking if people running sealed rooms @80+F with C02 have had any temp issues in their F&D res. Temp issues = dissolved 02 levels really.

I not 100% sure but i think i remember someone having PH issues in the rez due to the added co2 in the atmosphere . I forget the chemistry but apparently the co2 in the water would make the ph go up(?).....like i said not 100% sure. Good luck!

Peace
