Only place the xs2500 is available is on eBay and they only have one left. Forget that huh.
Sorry for the mistake.
The XS3000 Pro is on Amazon. It's 2 XS-1500 Pros held together with a bracket-that's the one I was thinking of.
The spectrum is a little heavy on the blue for my taste and it's not quite at 1kµmol but it's only $200. That's lots of bang for the buck.

Thx, The 3000 pro is $240 at Amazon, it's 38.4” L, I have 39" to work with so it'd be tight. It looks like I could shorten it's brackets and bring the 1500s closer together even if I had to cut it and tap new screw holes. It's also 300 Watt which is 100 more than the P2000 and 60 more than the SF2000.

This one has the highest
PPFD with 2343 umol/㎡/s but I've never heard of that brand, you?

I bought the ecellofizz years ago. They fizz like the alka seltzer. The other pic is maybe what Amazon replaced them with.If only!

I don't have enough knowledge regarding CO2 till then I won't buy them again.

Ive heard this "CO2 from the water" claim before and it is bogus. What it can do is to buffer ph slightly but i dont quite know the workings of that, only that loss of CO2 from the bloodstream leads to higher ph and hypocapnia (i think or was it hyper?)
Co2 for photosynthesis comes from the air thru the stomata.

Youd have to add it to your lung room for that and seal it all up. Very doable but only if there are right lungroom conditionsIf only!

Right, seal up the room that contains the grow tent and you're good to go. Homes in the frost belt have basements so that makes it easy In warmer parts of the country that means giving up a room above ground and in a lot of newer developments, that's just not going to happen.

Another way of doing co2 in a led tent is having something burning softly close to inlet but that is obviously a risk that has to be mitigated somewhat. But its a 3 in 1 solution for most of the usual led problems: heat/rh/co2 all in one go.
Easiest way though would be intaking from your bed room and running at night. Co2 from breathing is plenty for plants. Even read about someone who sealed their growspace with ac/dehuey and got a little bunny rabbit in a cage in there. Apparently it was enough. Tightly wound little buggers with high metabolism.

I can see how putting a tent in an inhabited room would boost CO2 in the grow because that's the same concept as adding CO2 to the lung room.
The overarching issue is that air in the tent "should" be changed two times per minute so you either have to boost the CO2 level in the enclosing room or run a sealed tent. The only way I've seen to do run a sealed tent might well be vaporware (pardon the pun). That product was available earlier this year and then it wasn't. Given that it might not be a real product, I just skimmed the docs but it looks like the Terraformer can run in a closed loop. I'm really glad to see that someone is coming up with a way to control the grow environment in a tent. The best that I can do it influence it. Anyway, if the Terraformer can run a closed loop, that's a one time cost of $600 to get an ongoing 30±% bump in yield. There are costs for CO2 but it's cheap compared to the benefit.
