So I'm testing a Co2 unit that seems to be working well. Ill know in a week. But heres my setup If anyone can benefit.

Air pump Is of obvious high grade no less then a gh dual diaghram per 2 5 gallon tubs. ..

With my sealed co2, im at 37 degrees, so I need to cool my res. Buty I don't pay 800 for a chiller. So I placed my air pump outside a window. In about 0-5 deg weather. Also,

Has anyone noticed the intake on the GH pump is very restrictive? Im tempted to open it up...

37c is 98f, had to do the conversion. If your temps are running that high you have a problem. You need to fix your environment. I run my DWC water temps up into the high 70's without issue because i run a beneficial tea. No Chiller needed when you run a Beneficial tea. But even that has its limits i doubt a tea will save you if your water temps get into the 90's.

YOur room temps should be in the lower 80's 80 to 85 f.

YOu should fix your environment before trying to inject cold air into your water

Are you extracting out the hot air from the top of your grow area... then pull in fresh cooler air from the bottom of the grow area? Also what is your temps outside of the grow area?

You are correct sir I have high temp issues. However you are incorrect in my room temp. Co2 is a different game. My temps fine. My water temp is too high. As you pointed and I also pointed out.

That's why im injecting cold air into it at 3 am in the morning until I can go to the hydro store. So, actually, that was probably the smartest thing to do. But thanks for stopping by. I'm looking for help with Co2 rooms.
 
Im off to buy, steal, or make a chiller. Live, stores open.!
