Diy Solenoid Valve

Remember, if something catastrophically fails and you vent the whole tank of CO2 into the air that you'll exhibit symptoms of nausea, headache, and rapid uncontrollable breathing . IF that happens, run

Can never happen... solenoid goes AFTER the regulator, doubt it would vent enough to cause a problem

exactly my thoughts on the matter. It will be placed on the very low pressure side of things and the worst will be a normal daytime dose of CO2 into the tank at night time.

Good, just checking . Never done CO2 for a planted tank, but I do play with high volume tanks of CO2 at work and know what the dangers are. After breathing 10% CO2 for a science experiment, I know how wierd CO2 inhalation feels. Just wanna make sure everybody's safe

I used to be a submariner and they lecture us pretty well on the effects of CO2 poisoning as well lol. But no the most that would be coming out would be about 4 bubbles per minute and that would be straight into the tank diffuser. But thanks for askinb.
