ok. so i got the regulator and the solenoid set to run for 15 min every two hours 15 min after lights on or so. i set the valve to .5 as i have a 4x4x6 tent. this seems very low but i read the website regarding co2 and it says .2 on one. that uses a 45 min load time tho. So i figured this would be fine. Any thoughts?

Also how far do I open the tank regulator! this is the real question. At first a little bit did it then I had to open a little more. It is sealed so hard to tell how far it is open or what the solenoid can take! I think as little as possible right? As long as the little ball hits the .5 to 1? I mean the knob on the tank itsself. How far to open. I have the little reg knob tuned fine to .5 but 0i have yet to find a thread that says what psi or how far to open the tank. ty.

Also which is the right way to read the ball. i am assumeing the bottom of the ball is where the reading is made. i hope this is right but I am aware there is always a learning curve somewhere. :cuss:

found my own answer chaps but i would like some experience with co2 dos and donts for a good read. It is to turn it a few times. lol. titan co2 says to turn it a few times and never keep the ball valve all the way open or shut or void warranty, common sense. i have a two year warranty,

anyway I just went and looked and it was on and the ball was at the bottom. so i turned the tank knob some and the ball shot up a few notches. i tired experimenting and I have it at one maybe thiking that the level was to low? cant be tho as it is rated at the .5 and my tent is a reg size. Maybe I had to turn the tank a luttle. I pray I am not freezing up. that would suck.

i open mine all the way and it stays like that untill the tank is empty (28- 30 days). you read the meter ball at the center of the ball
