CO2 feed for Ca Reactors?

I understand that CO2 can pass through normal airline tubing resulting in an 80% loss. Silicon cracks with long CO2 exposure. What are you using to feed your reactor? Any differences?

HTSL....I have what I think is likely the same algae. It does respond to lower lighting levels (put a rock in the sump, 2-3 day lights-off photoperiod). It helps, but did not get rid of it.
