Pool shock - sealed room

[George2324]

ive started using calcium hypochloride in my reservoir as I have been getting issues with algae growing - it's very difficult to find light proof totes where I am and it's just easier to sterilise the reservoir than to spray paint all my water tanks.

I have a sealed room with Co2 and it's starting to really smell like a swimming pool.

Since I don't have an exhaust is this safe? Or should chlorine not be used in a sealed setup?

From what I understand calcium hypochlorite reacts with organic compounds in the water to leave behind calcium which the plants can use and the chlorine eventually evaporates as a chloramime into the air? What's happens to that chloramime when it's in the air?

Dude that's disgusting. Inhale too much chlorine vapor? Your flower must burn like a pack of sparklers lit by that drunk guy on july 4. Use hydrogen peroxide.

Lots of people use under 5ppm chlorine.
Chlorine is a micronutrient for plants.

Hydrogen peroxide is a controlled substance here. I'd need 10l of the 10% solution every week to make a dent in killing bacteria in my large resevoirs

Chlorine is a nutrient, wouldn't doing this lead to some kind of toxicity?

At doses around 3ppm? I don't see how
