2800 watts to much?

They will work fine, what you will want to do is look at your state laws some states will only rent out tanks and won't fill privately owned tank.

This might be a dumb question but here goes anyway. If you're keeping your tent at 1500 ppm and using a controller for the output, why can't you run CO2 in a tent, inside the house?

Good question!
I can't answer it as I've never used it.
Children running about and a fear of getting gassed?
I'll have to ask him.
Are tents 100% leak proof?
Co2 1000 - 2000 ppm - complaints of drowsiness and poor air.
That seems acceptable if you aren't in the area for hours.

tents are not leak proof at all.and co2 at 2000ppm will not harm people.it takes a level so high where you cant get oxygen because the co2 is stronger than the air to make us feel dizzy.but in a bedroom it could happen i guess,if you have a bad timer or co2 control box that sent the co2 up over 10,000ppm.best to not use co2 in your bedroom or anywhere near children.but theres plenty of growers that work in their rooms while it sits @ 1500ppm co2 or more

Here's a little info on CO2. I guess to be safe, don't use around kids.

ok so 4% of total vol co2 is about 40,000 ppm right?

Yes. 10,000 ppm is 1% gas in air. 20,000 is 2%. So on and so on.....

yeah i knew that,just giving an example of co2 levels where we would start to have problems like dizzyness,headaches ,ect.40,000 ppm is very hard to achieve without using a continuous flow gas co2 generator.i would think most bottled co2 tanks would need to be wide open until empty to achieve these levels.im too lazy to do the math but most guys use a 20# bottle in small setups.you would need total valve failure to reach those levels i would guess.conversly you could sit in a sealed tent and just breath,after enough time the tent would be full of co2 lol

Not at all, it does put off a ton of heat but that's to be expected but well worth it for the light it puts out. I dropped to the DE 1k, the CLW550 and a 4 tube t5 with 2 uvb and 2700k for a 6x6

How hot did the case get? I'm wondering how close to.the cieling I could run one in a 4x8 tent

I've got four German shepherds and a wife to supplement my CO2 needs lol.
