Starting CO2 for the first time, Have a few questions

I just set up my flowering room and am adding CO2 today. Starting 12/12 tomorrow.

I have a plunger style CO2 test kit and did a test at canopy level and came back with 800+/- PPM. My goal is 1300-1500PPM.

My flowering area is 3x5x7.

Here are my questions:

What should I set my regulator at to get the extra 500-700 PPM. The setup I have is pictured below.

I ask because, when I went to my local hydro store he rattled off some mathematical formula for calculating this. I was high at the time and dont remember what that was. I'd call right now but they are closed. Also these test kit refills are about 6 bucks a piece and really dont want to go through a shitload until I figure it out.

Then at what intervals do I set the timer on the reg? I was figuring 15 minutes every hour.

The other question was a temp question.

My room stays at a steady 78 until a close off the flowering area and then it jumps to about 85, but only in the flowering side. I also remember (I think) that when using CO2 that you want the temp to go up. If so to what temperature?

Any feedback would be great...
