Co2 ppm indoors

[PeterEde]

I thought I'd check co2 in the house.
Late afternoon when I got home 450ish ppm.
5 hours later the alarm was going off and co2 was pushing 2000ppm.
Open front door at 930 pm and it dropped to 440.
It'll be Interesting to see what the level is early morning.

Mine doesn’t usually get up to 2000 but gets close to it daily. It’s interesting to watch my graph because you can tell when everyone is home and when they aren’t.
Here are my readings from yesterday. You can see where the family was out of the house yesterday evening.

What meter are you using? I like the graph.

The highest I have seen on mine is about 1200 that was after a week of very hot weather with no windows open.

If you dont mind me asking, how big is the home? Trying to get an idea of how much space there is available for CO2.

Mine is the InkBird IAQM-128W. I got it for free when InkBird was offering it for free in exchange for leaving an Amazon review. Otherwise the thing isn’t cheap and honestly I rarely look at it. It does read several different air quality parameters, so I guess for the sensors it has to have it may be a good price. I honestly don’t even know what several of the parameters are.

It also connects to wifi, so even though I’m at work I can see my current air quality values at home.

2 adults, 2 teenagers, and two kittens. My house is 2500 square feet.

Thank you for sharing. Ive always been curious and wanted to look into this. But I dont want to drop the $$$ for me to monitor it for a week then never look at it again lol.

I know we are focused on the health of our corals/tanks but what is a healthy level for us in our houses and should we be trying to fix that first? (No I haven't researched this yet... This post showed up on Facebook as I wasn't sleeping at 4:30 in the morning)

I have a tank in the home theater room. I can tell when someone is watching a movie by the ph drop logged by the apex.
