don't inject CO2 (if using cylinder) during lights out period. if DIY it would be the last thing to worry about.
How do we prevent CO2 poisoning? Is there a special valve that limits the maximum of CO2 output from the tank?

why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

If I am using a manual regulator for my CO2 tank, how do i prevent CO2 poisoning?
By keeping CO2 no higher than 35ppm will keep your fish save. Do a seach on pH/KH/Co2, you will find how to measure CO2 in water.
There is a electrical shutoff valve AKA solenoid valve which we can turn on and off the CO2 supply from a pressurised cylinder. This solenoid can be connected to a timer which can turn off the CO2 supply in the night. It can also be connected to a pH controller to maintain a constant CO2 ppm in the water.

Measure the pH and KH before lights turn on and after lights off. Calculate the CO2 ppm.
Adjust the CO2 bubbling such that CO2 falls within the range of 20-30ppm.

oic! thanks for the advice!
Mike,
Regards to your question, there ia a way to minimise co2 poisonning which is with a pH controller. This system may be good but do not come with a light price tag.
