Co2 enrichment and aerodomes

Hi guys, does anyone have any experience with using 1500ppm co2 enrichment while using an autopot set up (with aerodomes)?

My concern is the airpump pumping CO2 rich air direct to the root zone and ultimately killing the plant

I could drill a couple holes in the wall and have the pumps outside the room although it would then be pumping very cold air direct to the roots

Hey man. I was running this exact set up. From my research co2 in the root zone is not why you want, the roots just want that sweet oxygen and best out you can place the pump side outside. I figure the grow area is pretty warm and the root zone may already be warmer than it would like, maybe the cool air will be a win

Air pumps will push co2 into water lowering o2 inevitably, this is a good reason to have a holding tank that is refreshed daily in high co2 environments. You can use hydrogen peroxide to increase oxygen in your water but it can kill most beneficial microbacteria, not the end of the world.

I run 1200 PPM co2 with great results, anything higher is unnecessary and bad for your health (some say 1800 ppm + is bad for health).

Good luck.

p.s I've ran co2 as high as 2200 PPM in a grow and it did not kill plants. Performance was not notably better than 1200 PPM though. In a residential grow where people and pets are residing I wouldn't go above 1500 PPM co2 if possible.

Hi i am starting my first dwc and and co2 Supply in sealed room. I thought that pumping air from the outside would be great idea no co2 a lot of oxygen fresh air and it would chill the water temp.... But the problem is condensation... The temp outside are around 0-8 celsius. There are many water drops on lid and it causing the rockwool is wet all the time and it killing my seedlings. For first Two weeks i can pump the air from inside so there is no problem but what when i start using co2?
This is my first post on this forum and sorry for my english
