Where does all that co2 go?

if i had a big metal cabinet, 12 average terrariums in the top half of it, each terrarium with substrate that consists of 4 half pint brf/verm jars crumbled, each terrarium with 4 small holes towards the bottom(right above substrate) and 4 small holes at the top, would i need to put holes in the bottom of the cabinet to drain out the co2? would i need holes at the top of the cabinet to let in fresh air?

you will need about 2-300 holes in all six sides of the terrarium

Today's modern CO2 naturally seeks a bathtub drain. Saving that, it will slowly be absorbed by the family cat.

You want holes all around to create circulation. It's a myth that CO2 settles to the bottom and needs to be 'drained' out. If that were the case, we'd all be dead from the CO2 from the power plants, car exhaust, etc. sinking to the surface of the earth, but the fact is, CO2 can be measured in the highest reaches of the upper atmosphere. It simply mixes in with the air and goes where the air goes. RR

nah man, you've gotta recapture all the CO2 from your grows or else you're contributing to global warming. ideally you should find a geological formation under your house and pump it down into there.
also, please collect your farts in an empty two-liter bottle and sink them to the bottom of the ocean.
seriously though...CO2 does sink. Try putting a chunk of dry ice in a bathtub (with no fan blowing on it or something, duh), run some hot water on it to get it bubbling, wait 5 miutes, then try to light your bic in there. The tub will be full of CO2.
however, there's nowhere near that much concentrated CO2 coming out of your grow..,the FAE you do will clear it out fine.

I was wondering if I was the only one seeing that. Must be a bug.
