You should be able to puchase a regulator at most hardware stores, any place that would sell welding stuff like a home depot. I currently use the sugar/yeast mixture to generate co2. I use 2 1 gallon containers for my room, about 250 cubic feet of space, not sure what the ppm increase is but I feel even a little boost would help. I've been looking for someone with a co2 meter so I can try an experiment. According to my research, ozone when passed through a carbon filter should generate co2 and o2. I just don't know at what concentrations. I have a homemade ozone gen., I just need a way to measure the co2 level. I started a thread on it but noone knowledgeable on the subject posted.

but ozone is bad for plants

That would be awesome if you could test it. If you check out the wikipedia page on ozone, they show the formula where one ozone molecule (o3) combines with 2 carbon atoms to make 1 co2 and 2 o2. Best of both, plants get extra co2 and I get extra oxygen, I don't know how much ozone would be left after passing through a carbon filter. It's to bad ozone is bad for people and plants, it works so good as a deodorizer, I've heard it can neutralize pollen to which is a plus if I have a hermie I missed banana's on.
