Double Bottle System
Since there are two controllers each has a dedicated regulator and 50lb compressed CO2 bottle. This allows for system isolation, easy tracking and to some degree a redundancy. As expected the system maintaining atmospheric conditions at 400ppm is going through minimal CO2 and the system enriching to 1050ppm is going through more CO2 on a relative basis as expected.
However, the overall rate of CO2 consumed by the enriching system seems to be about the same now as before when the supplementation system was not in place. There is a possible slight extension in required bottle change intervals, but this could be due in part to the weather and heat.
Also, having an identical redundancy in bottles and regulators is a good thing as if needed, this would allow for a quick change in regulator power sources to ensure the structure is being enriched with CO2.
